He estimates that the world has witnessed only a fraction—20%—of what Yamal can do on the pitch.

Just last month, Nasraoui watched his 17-year-old son win the prestigious Kopa Trophy and finish eighth in the 2024 Ballon d'Or rankings, an achievement remarkable for a player of his age.

He believes it's only a matter of time before Yamal claims football's highest individual honour.

Speaking with France Football, Nasraoui expressed both admiration and confidence in Yamal's potential, stating,

“I quickly understood that he was a star, that he was not a human being like the others. From a very young age, there was a ball in his stroller."

Nasraoui recalled the unwavering faith he had in his son’s future, telling friends that Yamal would one day become the world’s best.

“He was a pure diamond,” he remarked, emphasising the importance of Yamal remaining grounded and joyful both on and off the field.

Reflecting on his son’s growth, he added, “Today, he is a man. I told him that the other day, and I could not hold back my tears.”"I rub my hands thinking about the Ballon d'Ors he's going to win."

Lamine Yamal out with an injury

Unfortunately, Yamal missed Barcelona’s recent clash with Real Sociedad due to an injury sustained in their Champions League fixture against Crvena Zvezda, per 90Min.

Despite this setback, Nasraoui eagerly anticipates the future, confident his son is on track to secure multiple Ballon d'Or titles.
