Lamine Yamal plays a filter game guessing footballers' names correctly except for his own.
On 30 May 2026 GMT+7, Lamine Yamal, an attacking player for Spain and Barcelona, posted a video on social media doing a popular footballer name-guessing challenge, but he failed to pronounce his own name correctly.
He started with Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, and Mohamed Salah, all guessed correctly, but when it came to his own name, he tried three times—Lamine Yamal, Lamine Yaman, Lamine Yamal—yet still failed.
Lamine Yamal is one of Spain's 26 players for the 2026 World Cup, placed in Group H alongside Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, and Uruguay.
