Rising Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has revealed two “iconic” Premier League stadiums he’s desperate to play in: Manchester United’s Old Trafford and Liverpool’s Anfield.
The 17-year-old made the revelation while speaking as a newly unveiled global ambassador for Beats by Dre, where he fronts a campaign showcasing his matchday soundtrack under the banner of his fictional label, Lamine Records.
“There are so many [stadiums] I’ve yet to experience, especially outside of Europe,” Yamal said. “In Europe, some of the iconic ones I’d like to play in are Old Trafford and Anfield.”
Yamal, already a regular starter at Barcelona and a full Spanish international, has appeared in some of football’s most storied arenas, including the San Siro, Bernabeu, and Camp Nou, currently under renovation.
Alongside his stadium ambitions, Yamal praised Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka and PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé as players he admires.
Saka, in a different, also lauded the teenage prodigy, calling him “unreal” and “not normal” for a player his age.
Barcelona and Arsenal had been on a collision course for a Champions League final meeting in Munich, but both clubs were eliminated at the semifinal stage.
Despite that, Yamal is eyeing silverware as Barça lead La Liga by four points over Real Madrid, with a decisive El Clasico set for Sunday at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
