Radical Change! Lamine Yamal 'will imitate' Nico Williams in the Supercup

Lamine Yamal is confident he will be ready for the semifinal of the Supercup of Spain, this Wednesday against Athletic Club (8:00 PM). The FC Barcelona winger has trained normally in the last sessions at the Ciutat Esportiva, where this week he reappeared with a new look that he hopes to officially debut in Arabia. The blue and garnet '19' surprised his teammates with a hairstyle reminiscent of two 'cracks' well-known to the culé fans: Nico Williams and Neymar Jr.

The player from Mataró opted to incorporate several blonde highlights into his hair, and although he intended to hide his hair change until the match against the Bilbao team, the look was ultimately leaked on social media, where users were amazed by the comparisons with the Basque forward and the Brazilian, now a player for Al Hilal Saudi. For the blue and garnet star, this is the second viral makeover of the season, after surprising everyone in the Clásico held in October with personalized dental braces in the colors of Barça.

Lamine Yamal and a new 'nod' to Nico Williams

Yamal's new look can be interpreted as the umpteenth 'nod' from the culé winger to the younger Williams, with whom he hopes to share not only the Spanish National Team but also Barça from next summer. The '11' of Athletic remains one of the top options to strengthen the left wing and Lamine will do everything in his power to ensure that the operation, unlike last summer, comes to fruition in 2025.

In the meantime, the 17-year-old forward will have to face this Wednesday, once again, his best friend in Arabia, in a match that promises to be high intensity and finds both players in a delicate situation. The blue and garnet academy player hopes to receive medical clearance from the right ankle injury suffered in the match against Leganés (December 15), while Nico keeps the coaching staff of the 'lions' on edge due to a bruise on his left ankle that prevented him from training with the group this Tuesday.
