Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal scored again for Spain as they beat Czechia 3-1 in the Nations League, prompting Fabrizio Romano to respond to a fan who accused the transfer expert of promoting the teenage star.
A supporter made the comment beneath a social media post by the well-known Italian football insider, writing: “He really is promoting Yamal.”
Romano replied: “Yes, with 19 goal contributions in nine matches, he really needs our promotion, haha.”
The response attracted a large number of likes.
Yamal is regarded as one of the leading contenders for the 2026 Ballon d’Or. The award ceremony will take place on 26 October.
