Lamine Yamal, the 18-year-old Barcelona sensation, has taken the internet by storm with the launch of his official YouTube channel and a captivating house tour video. The young winger's debut on the platform has garnered massive attention, attracting hundreds of thousands of subscribers and nearly a million views within hours of its release.
The inaugural video, titled "Mi House Tour," offers fans an intimate glimpse into Yamal's personal life, showcasing his current residence and providing insights into his daily routines. With a relaxed and engaging style, Yamal guides viewers through his home, sharing personal anecdotes, jokes, and details about his life away from the pitch.
Currently, Yamal lives with his friend Sohaib and his cousin Mohamed Abde. However, the Barcelona forward is preparing to move from his current Catalan apartment into a £12 million mansion once owned by former Barcelona star Gerard Pique and his former partner Shakira.
During the tour, Yamal showcases several personal items of significance, including a replica Kopa Trophy, a ring commemorating Spain’s European Championship win, a La Liga Player of the Month award, and a match ball from Spain’s 2024 European Championship semi-final victory over France. He also proudly displays his collection of action figures, soft toys (including octopus teddies), and gaming consoles like PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Among his prized possessions, Yamal reveals that the most precious item in his house is the ball he scored with against France.
Beyond his accolades and personal treasures, Yamal's house tour reveals some surprising details about his lifestyle and preferences. He admits to not being particularly organized and confesses to a love for waking up in the middle of the night to eat cookies. He also emphasizes the importance of a pleasant-smelling home, expressing his preference for the scent of vanilla. "It's important that the house smells good," he said. "I only like the smell of vanilla. Everything in my house has to be vanilla. My soap is vanilla too. I smell really good."
One of the most talked-about moments in the video is Yamal's appearance wearing a Colombia national team jersey with Luis Díaz's name on it. This tribute to the Colombian star, who now plays for Bayern Munich, was interpreted as a sign of respect and admiration for Díaz's explosive and decisive style.
Yamal's decision to launch a YouTube channel aligns with a growing trend among top-level footballers to engage with fans through digital platforms. Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland have also launched their own channels, offering fans glimpses into their lives beyond the football field.
The Barcelona star's YouTube channel attracted close to 200,000 subscribers within five hours of its launch. Yamal is set to release more content in the coming months, providing he continues to impress on the pitch. With his engaging personality and undeniable talent, Lamine Yamal's foray into the world of YouTube promises to be a resounding success, further solidifying his status as a global icon.
