Lamine Yamal causes public outrage

Lamine Yamal's 18th birthday party caused a stir for using dwarfs and sexy models.

Lamine Yamal is in unnecessary trouble.

A mural in Joanic Square, Barcelona - painted to honor the 18th birthday of young talent Lamine Yamal - has been seriously vandalized, amid a controversial scandal involving the Barca star's lavish and offensive birthday party.

The original painting depicted Yamal as a Superman with an “L” instead of an “S” on his chest, symbolizing the expectations the entire city of Barcelona had of him. But recently, journalist Edu Polo shared images showing the work crudely defaced with the “Seven Dwarfs” characters – believed to be a mockery of the alleged “exploitation of dwarfs” at Yamal’s birthday party.

Previously, there were fake images circulating online, but this time, according to confirmation from the on-site reporter, the vandalism was real.

The incident stemmed from a birthday party held on July 13 - with about 200 guests, including friends, relatives and teammates - taking place at a private villa in the style of "Mafia". Photos from the party showed the appearance of people with achondroplasia (congenital dwarfism) and scantily clad models.

Some sources also said that the models were selected based on the criteria of "blond hair, prominent bust" and were paid up to 20,000 euros to attend the party.

Lamine Yamal's picture on the wall was vandalized.

Spanish model Claudio Calvo - who was Miss Teenager Europe 2022 - revealed that she turned down the invitation when she discovered inappropriate demands from the organizers. She said: "I don't know exactly what they wanted, I was just told that I needed to have 'fun' for 24 hours. They were looking for girls who looked like models or escorts."

In response to the scandal, Jesus Martin, the Spanish government 's director general for people with disabilities, called for an official investigation. "We are concerned when we see people with money and power who think they are above the law. The law is equal for everyone - from the humble to the rich," he told Marca .

So far, Yamal and his representatives have not made any statements. However, the incident is sparking a wave of strong criticism from the community, especially in the context of Yamal being a role model for many young fans. The image of the brightest young talent in La Masia is being seriously tarnished by actions that are considered lacking in awareness and unsuitable for the position of a top star in Spanish football.
