After first career hat-trick, Yamal gives away historic ball
In FC Barcelona's 4-1 home victory against Villarreal, prodigy Lamine Yamal once again single-handedly led his team to victory - and he achieved something very special in the process.
With his goals in the 28th, 38th, and 70th minutes, he scored his very first career hat-trick at just 18 years old. Messi achieved this at 19, Cristiano Ronaldo at 23 - the two greatest of their time took longer than Yamal.
It is well-known that many significant players and historical games have heroes who like to keep the match ball as a special keepsake.
Yamal also secured the prized ball, but not to keep it for himself.
He revealed that he would give the ball from his very first hat-trick game to his mother, whom he also hugged extensively at the sidelines after the final whistle.
However, congratulations came not only from his family; his Barça teammate Robert Lewandowski also seemed impressed by his mate's performance.
After the game, he greeted Yamal with a dismissive gesture of respect for a high-five and congratulated him on his extraordinary achievement.
Lewandowski also took significantly longer to score his first career hat-trick: That was with BVB, and Lewa was 23 years old at the time.
