As European soccer gears up for a new season, several star players are staying busy with various activities.
Take, for instance, the rising global star, Spanish sensation Lamine Yamal. After helping Spain secure the UEFA Euro 2024 title in Germany, Yamal is now enjoying a well-deserved vacation. He’ll soon shift his focus to the upcoming season with FC Barcelona.
In the final stretch of his break, Yamal spent a few days in Algarve, located in southern Portugal. And when talking about Portugal, it’s impossible not to think of one of the greatest soccer players of the modern era, Cristiano Ronaldo.
It was in Algarve that Lamine Yamal crossed paths with someone very close to Cristiano Ronaldo, the former Real Madrid star now shining with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Yamal’s father captured the moment in a photo that quickly went viral on social media.
