Lamine Yamal Under Fire for Raising Palestinian Flag at Barcelona Parade

Lamine Yamal sparked controversy when he displayed a large Palestinian flag from Barcelona’s open-top bus during the recent La Liga title celebrations. Israel’s Defence Minister publicly accused the 18-year-old winger of inciting hatred against Jewish people and urged the club to distance itself from the stunt. Coach Hansi Flick admitted he discussed the matter with Yamal before the parade, saying he preferred to keep the focus on football but acknowledged the teenager has the right to make his own choices.
