Lamine Yamal's home was targeted in an attempted burglary Wednesday morning, just hours after Spain's victory over France in the 2026 World Cup semi-final. Two masked individuals managed to scale the wall surrounding the young Spanish striker's property. However, the two suspects were surprised by the home's security guards. They immediately fled and failed to gain entry to the house. No theft or significant damage was reported.
The burglars were chased away by security
Spanish law enforcement confirmed that an attempted break-in had occurred early this morning. The identity of the homeowner was not initially released, but it was later established that the property belonged to Lamine Yamal. Investigators are now reviewing CCTV footage and gathering statements from officers present at the scene to identify the two individuals. No arrests have yet been announced.
A property once occupied by Gerard Piqué and Shakira
The house is known in Catalonia for having once belonged to Gerard Piqué and Shakira, when the former FC Barcelona defender and the Colombian singer still lived together in the area. The residence has a significant security system, which allowed for the rapid detection of the suspects' presence and prevented them from entering the property.
An attempt a few hours after Spain's qualification
This attempted burglary occurred the night following Spain's 2-0 victory over France in the World Cup semi-final. Lamine Yamal had played a part in Spain's first goal and contributed to La Roja's qualification for the final. The player was still with the Spanish national team at the time of the incident. His presence, or that of any family members, at the property has not been confirmed. No injuries were reported.
