MADRID: Mounir Nasraoui, the father of Barcelona and Spain star winger Lamine Yamal, is in a “serious but stable” condition after being stabbed late on Wednesday in a car park in the northeastern Spanish town of Mataro, Spanish national TV broadcaster TVe reported.
The regional police force Mossos d’Esquadra confirmed the report and told Reuters three people had been arrested for attempted murder.
The 17-year-old Yamal, a soccer wonderkid who grew up in coastal Mataro — a working-class, multi-ethnic suburb of Barcelona — became the breakout star of the recent Euro 2024 held in Germany, helping Spain to win the tournament and scoring in their semifinal victory over France.
TVE said on Thursday that Yamal’s father had been stabbed three times, twice in the abdomen and once in the chest.
Nasraoui was admitted to the intensive care unit of a hospital in Badalona, Barcelona, late on Wednesday and was expected to remain there for the upcoming hours, the report said.
TVE added that a fourth person had been arrested by the regional police on Thursday, with his involvement in the stabbing still unclear.
The broadcaster said the police were investigating a previous fight as the reason behind the incident. Several videos could be seen on social media on Wednesday, showing Nasraoui having an argument with some individuals in the Rocafonda neighborhood and the police intervening. However, Reuters was not able to independently verify them.

F1 teams and FIA sign new Concorde Agreement to govern the sport
- The new governance agreement was signed by all 11 teams, including Cadillac
- The announcement came on the same day that FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem was re-elected for a new four-year term
LONDON: Formula 1, its teams and the FIA governing body have signed a new Concorde Agreement to govern how the sport is run through 2030.
The new governance agreement announced Friday was signed by all 11 teams, including Cadillac, which is heading into its first season in 2026.
No details were made public but the FIA signaled it would be able to “invest further in improved race regulation, race direction, stewarding and technical expertise for the benefit of the championship.”
The announcement came on the same day that FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem was re-elected for a new four-year term. The commercial part of the new agreement was already signed in March.
Originally a deal to end a power struggle between the FIA and the teams in the early 1980s, various editions of the Concorde Agreement have underpinned how F1 is run. Its contents are kept secret.
F1 is already set for sweeping changes next year with new regulations which make the cars smaller, with more electrical power and movable aerodynamic parts.
The first race of the new season is the Australian Grand Prix on March 8.
