Lamine Yamal influenced by idol Messi switches to Adidas


 Barcelona’s rising star, Lamine Yamal, has inked a sponsorship deal with Adidas, following in the footsteps of Argentine legend Leo Messi. The 16-year-old Spanish international is leaving Nike to join the German multinational, as confirmed by Adidas in a recent statement. Since late January, Yamal has been testing his new all-white boots, and during the Champions League quarter-finals against Napoli, he sported the chosen model for the first time.

According to Adidas, Yamal will exclusively wear the Adidas X Crazyfast Leo Messi ‘Spark Gen10s,’ making him the only player, asidefrom Messi himself, to do so. This move mirrors Messi’s own transition from Nike to Adidas back in 2006. In his own words, Yamal expressed pride in joining Adidas, a brand he idolized while growing up watching Messi. With 35 games played, 5 goals scored, and 4 assists provided, Yamal has emerged as a promising talent for both Barcelona and the Spanish national team. His debut for Spain at just 16 years and 57 days old marked a historic moment in La Roja’s history.

Al-Nassr Faces Ronaldo Absence After Suspension for Obscene Gesture

  Al-Nassr, the Saudi Arabian football club, will be without their star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, for an upcoming match. The Portuguese superstar received a suspension from the Disciplinary and Ethics Committee of the Saudi Football Federation due to an offensive gesture he made during Al-Nassr’s recent victory over Al-Shabab. The incident occurred when chants of “Messi” echoed through the stadium, prompting Ronaldo to react toward the opposing supporters. As a consequence of his actions, Ronaldo faces two fines: 10,000 Saudi riyals payable to the Saudi Football Federation and an additional 20,000 riyals to Al-Shabab. His suspension means he will miss Al-Nassr’s next match against Al-Hazm on Thursday.
