The star football player's grandmother challenged: If they want to kill me, I'm here.

The choice of Spain's national team by Barcelona's young talent Lamine Yamal has sparked significant debate in Morocco. Especially harsh comments made on social media are also targeting the young footballer's family. Yamal's grandmother Fatima recently intensified the situation with her statements aimed at calming the discussions.

"THIS CHILD IS NOT MOROCCAN"

Lamine Yamal's grandmother stated that her grandson was born and raised in Spain, saying, "This child is not Moroccan. He was born in Spain and received his education here. My son Mounir did not force him into anything. He can play wherever he wants, in Morocco, France, Spain... It is entirely his decision."

"I CAN'T EVEN EAT"

The grandmother, who had to leave her neighborhood due to the tensions following her grandson's choice of the Spanish national team, expressed great concern after her son Mounir was stabbed, stating, "I have been afraid since my son was stabbed. Now, because of this Mounir incident, I can't even eat. My stomach is closed due to shock and fear."

"IF THEY WANT TO KILL ME..."

Fatima expressed that some people in the neighborhood harbor hostility towards them out of jealousy, saying, "The source of the conflicts in the neighborhood is this, because they are jealous of us." Despite the threats she faces, Fatima stated that she remains determined, challenging, "If they want to kill me, I'm here."

DISPUTES FLARED UP EVEN MORE

The grandmother's statements were met with great backlash from Moroccan football fans and reignited the debates about which national team the young talent should choose.
