Spanish prodigy Lamine Yamal announced his college girlfriend after sensationally helping his country to victory at Euro 2024 in an unforgettable evening.
Teenage star Yamal won the first major international trophy of his career yesterday, just a day after his 17th birthday, after a 2-1 win over England in Berlin.
The winger set Nico Williams up for the season opener in Spain with a series of trademark tricks, capping off a spectacular month in the spotlight.
Yamal remained on the field long after the confetti festivities to toast the success, accompanied by his partner, student Alex Padilla.
The loved-up couple snuggled up together and posed for photos with his young player of the tournament trophy, which he received after a series of brilliant performances.

Social media influencer Padilla has more than 300,000 followers on TikTok, including Yamal
Padilla, a social media influencer with more than 300,000 followers on TikTok, supported her boyfriend by wearing a Spanish shirt with his name and number on the back.
Padilla held the gleaming silverware in her lap, put her arm around Yamal and smiled for the cameras as she sat atop the stage.
In a photo, it appears that the cheerful Yamal is also taking a selfie with Padilla.
The couple were accompanied by Yamal’s father, Mounir Nasraoui, who had correctly predicted before the competition that his son would shine at the biggest events.
Padilla is believed to have attended several of Spain’s matches at the European Championship and was spotted alongside Yamal’s family.

Yamal was named the young player of the tournament and broke several records
Speculation about their budding relationship arose after she was photographed in a dugout with some of Yamal’s family members during the tournament.
The rumors reached a fever pitch when observant social media users noticed that Padilla was one of two accounts Yamal followed on TikTok.
Child prodigy Yamal broke multiple records at the European Championship, becoming the youngest ever goalscorer at the tournament. He scored in the semi-final against France, his stunning curving shot finding the top corner.
He now returns to his club Barcelona and is expected to continue to amaze, with his father even comparing him to the all-time great, Lionel Messi.
“You can’t imagine how proud I am of my son,” Nasraoui said The Telegraph.
‘I always knew he would achieve what he achieved. I had every confidence. And I have confidence that he can go all the way and become greater than Messi.’
