‘Hate me or love me, I don’t care’ – Lamine Yamal sends message after Spain beat England
The teenager shone again at Wembley.
Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, 19, scored the opening goal for Spain in their 3-2 victory over England at Wembley Stadium on September 26, 2026. The young striker celebrated his milestone by posting an Instagram message stating, "Hate me or love me, I don’t care." This declaration may have been a response to criticism Yamal received for expressing his belief that he deserved to win the prestigious Ballon d'Or award.
Following the match, former Spain coach Luis de la Fuente addressed Yamal's performance, praising him for his exceptional play and emphasizing that the team works to maximize his strengths.
