Eighteen-year-old forward Lamine Yamal attracted more than one million subscribers after two days of launching his official YouTube channel.

Yamal debuted the channel under his own name on Dec. 23, gaining approximately 870,000 subscribers in less than 24 hours. His first video features a tour of his former home in Barcelona, filmed as he was preparing to move, with boxes visible throughout the house.

Lamine Yamal introduces his trophies in his Barcelona home in the first video on his YouTube channel.

One section of the home displays Yamal's individual awards, including the Golden Boy, the Kopa Trophy and the Euro 2024 Young Player of the Tournament honor.

In the video, he also shares personal details, such as his preference for the scent of vanilla and his habit of going to bed early before waking up at night to eat cookies. "That's why I can't have a girlfriend, because I wake up in the middle of the night," Yamal said.

The video includes glimpses of his wardrobe, gifts and personal items, although many of his belongings remain at his parents' home.

Yamal was born on July 13, 2007, to parents of Moroccan and Equatorial Guinean origin. His parents separated when he was three but continued to raise him together in Barcelona. He joined FC Barcelona’s scouting system at the age of six and spent a decade developing at La Masia.

In 2024, Yamal recorded one goal and four assists as Spain won the European Championship. During the 2024–2025 season, he scored 18 goals and provided 25 assists for Barcelona, helping the club secure three domestic trophies. He also finished runner-up in both the Ballon d’Or and FIFA The Best awards.

Yamal publicly confirmed a relationship with Alex Padilla during Euro 2024, though the couple later separated. He also ended a subsequent relationship with rapper Nicki Nicole following Barcelona’s 2–1 defeat to Real Madrid on Oct. 26. Since then, Barcelona have won eight consecutive La Liga matches and returned to the top of the standings.
