Lamine Yamal has been rebuked for being arrogant and having a ‘prison culture’ attitude by a former World Cup winner.
The Barcelona star was berated for his reluctant handshake with Cristiano Ronaldo last month and his controversial party by ex-France defender Adil Rami.
Yamal has been under fire after his controversial 18th birthday party, with the Spanish government demanding an investigation.
It is claimed that ‘dwarves were exploited’ as entertainers at the lavish ‘mafia-themed’ bash, while women with ‘specific breast measurements were paid to attend’ – though one of the people with Dwarfism apparently rubbished any claims of disrespect.
In any case, Rami, who never played with Yamal, issued his stern verdict on a Twitch stream.
‘Football-wise, nothing to say. He’s a cracking talent. He’ll win Ballons d’Or, Champions Leagues, everything. But on a human level – f*** your mother,’ said Rami.

‘The way he shook Cristiano Ronaldo’s hand pissed me off. That’s where it started. Then he made videos talking about him—I didn’t like that,’ Rami explained, via RMC Sport.
‘Then I saw his whole ‘pants down’ thing. That whole business of pulling your shorts down, that comes from prison culture in the US and Mexico, and it was done by people who wanted to get f*****. There are things that raise red flags.
‘He throws parties, and people are already talking about his parties. Wait a bit, you f****! He shows up, takes the No. 10 shirt, and starts rocking all this bling with big diamonds… He thinks he’s American. It’s f****** annoying.’
Rami references the Nations League final last month, where Spain beat Portugal on penalties.
Yamal looked away from Ronaldo as the legend offered him a handshake, half-heartedly slapping his hand as part of the trophy ceremony.
He also mocked CR7’s celebration in the warm-up before the final – and had imitated it in the semi-finals as he scored twice in Spain’s 5-4 win over France.
Regarding the ‘pants down’ comment, Yamal has been known to pull his shorts low while playing, something which has brought him the ire of football punditry’s snarler-in-chief Rafael van der Vaart.
Barcelona have given their man a public vote of confidence after handing him the number 10 shirt, one which has been worn by Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho, and Rivaldo down the years.

But Spanish journalist Pipi Estrada has claimed that Barcelona chiefs are ‘very worried’ about Yamal after a notorious summer, which has included his notorious party and a holiday with a 29-year-old OnlyFans model – though the pair deny any relationship.
The Spain star returned to training under a cloud this month after news of his exuberant birthday party, which around 200 family members, friends, and team-mates attended.
A model named Claudio Calvo has claimed Yamal paid for 12 women with a ‘certain breast size’ to attend the bash and now the government are seeking a huge fine and probe into the mafia-themed bash following the outcry over paid attendees with Dwarfism.
After the Association of People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias with Dwarfism (ADEE) threatened to take legal action, the Spanish government joined those condemning Yamal and demanded a probe into the party.
According to Marca, Yamal could be hit with a fine of up to £867,000 and the General Director of Disability in the government, Jesus Martín, wants ministers to approve an investigation.
In the face of the criticism, the Barcelona star has simply shared a one-minute clip to fans on social media of his party, writing ‘Just 1 minute, enjoy it’.
The clip revealed the party took place at a private estate and had a mafia style theme.
Yamal had been dressed in a white suit with a red rose in his lapel, while his look included sunglasses and a cane.

The teenager was also seen wearing a £300,000 necklace featuring his initials “LY’, which had been gifted to him by Dominican rapper El Alfa.
Despite being a private event, where guests were not permitted to take mobile phones and take photos, parts of the teenager’s celebration have drawn criticism.
Spanish model, Calvo, who was Miss Teenager Spain 2021 and Miss Teenager Europe 2022, claimed she was asked to attend the event.
Speaking on Spanish television show Tardear TV, Calvo alleged that organisers were seeking to hire 12 blonde women with specific breast sizes to attend the celebration.
She claimed the women would have been paid up to 20,000 euros, but would need to be available for 24 hours, with the location of the event not disclosed to them.
Calvo claimed she had backed out of the event after receiving the list of demands.
‘I have screenshots of everything, the conversations, they told me that the fee would be a certain amount between 10,000 and 20,000 euros,’ Calvo told Tardear TV.
‘But the truth is that you don’t really know what you’re getting into, because they don’t tell you what they really expect from you beyond “having a good time” at the party.
‘They asked for blonde girls with a certain breast size,’ Calvo claimed, adding organisers were looking for ‘models or escorts’.
Yamal has not publicly commented on Calvo’s claims.
When asked about the party, his father responded briefly that it was ‘very good’ and told a journalist to ‘go find’ details about the celebration.
Barcelona have made no official comments.
