At around 14:00 on Thursday, Lamine Yamal's father, Mounir Nasraoui, spoke out for the first time after being stabbed twice on Wednesday night. "Thank you all for your encouragement, I'm better now, a big hug for everyone,’ he wrote on his Instagram stories, with an emoji of a bicep and a heart next to the song "He visto", by the rapper Morad.

After lunchtime on Wednesday, Mounir Nasraoui was walking his dog in the streets of Rocafonda in Mataro, Barcelona. According to police investigations, there had long been tension in the neighbourhood because his son, Lamine Yamal, had chosen to represent the Spanish national team in his football career, so some neighbours threw water on his father, who threatened the perpetrators of the affront.
In the evening, at around 21:00 CEST, at least four people were involved in an attack on his person that resulted in two stab wounds to the abdomen. He was rushed to the Germans Trias i Pujol university hospital in Badalona, Can Ruti, with a serious prognosis, but he soon improved. The following day, which is the one that concerns these lines, he published a brief text on his Instagram profile to indicate that he is well.
"Thank you all for your encouragement, I'm better now, a big hug," he wrote in the stories section of the social network. He attached an emoticon of a bicep and another of a heart, as well as an extract from the rapper Morad's song ‘He visto’. Half of two verses can be heard and three others can be heard in full. They suggest a dig at those with whom he is feuding.
‘...then, to your face, it's no fun for you. Now, two fools come to me and want to stain my name. And they don't know where to catch me and they don't know where to hit me. I've seen the death of people from the neighbourhood that nobody remembers them. I've seen people...’, sings the street artist in the section echoed by Mounir Nasraoui.
