Dubai Christmas Break: Lamine Yamal Delights Kids on the Beach

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal is enjoying his Christmas break in Dubai ahead of attending the Globe Soccer Awards on December 28.

On the city’s sandy shore, Yamal, joined by close friends Moha and Sua, participated in a beach football session that wowed local children with his skill and dribbling tricks.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the trio even posed for selfies with several youngsters, giving them a memory to treasure for years to come.

The Barcelona youngster will rest a few more days in Dubai before returning to training on Monday at the Johan Cruyff Arena facilities.

For good measure: if his footwork had a soundtrack, it would be a chart-topping remix—shuffle, step over, score.

He left the beach with a clean slate, and even the camels asked for his autograph.
