The Spanish prodigy, Lamine Yamal, appeared with his girlfriend after his strong contribution to his country’s victory in the 2024 European Cup by winning the final match over England by two goals to one.
Yamal turned 17 last Saturday.
Lamine Yamal appeared publicly with his student girlfriend on the field of the Euro final match, which witnessed his rise as one of the potential legends in the history of football, in the footsteps of Pele, Maradona, Messi and Ronaldo.
Yamal remained on the field long after the confetti-filled celebrations, and was joined by his partner, student Alex Padilla.
They sat together and took pictures with the tournament's best player trophy, which he won after a series of impressive performances.
Alex Padilla, a social media influencer with more than 300,000 followers on TikTok, supported her potential fiancé by wearing a Spain jersey bearing Yamal's name and number.
The duo was accompanied by Yamal's father, Mounir Nasraoui, who correctly predicted before the match that his son would shine on the biggest occasions.
Alex Padilla is believed to have attended several of Spain's European Championship matches and was seen sitting next to the Yamal family.
Speculation increased about their budding relationship, after she was photographed with several of Yamal's relatives in a spare seat during the tournament. The rumors peaked after social media users discovered that Alex Padilla was one of only two accounts followed by Yamal on TikTok.
The prodigy Yamal broke many records during the European Championship, and became the tournament's youngest ever scorer after scoring a stunning goal against France in the semi-finals. He will now return to his club Barcelona and is expected to continue to impress. His father even compared him to the greatest player of all time. Lionel Messi.
