2026 World Cup: attempted burglary at Lamine Yamal after the France-Spain semi-final

According to reports from Catalan media, two masked individuals attempted to break into the home of Spanish footballer Lamine Yamal in Esplugues de Llobregat, near Barcelona, shortly after Spain defeated France 2-0 in the 2026 World Cup semifinal. The police confirmed the incident, noting that the suspects were spotted climbing the property’s wall but fled upon encountering private security. The attack occurred several hours after the match, which saw Spain advance to the final thanks in part to a penalty scored by Yamal. The residence, previously owned by former footballer Gerard Piqué and singer Shakira during their relationship, has been linked to other recent burglaries in the area, including another violent theft nearby.
