Lamine Yamal holds the trophy after the final match

Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia reports that the father of 17-year-old Spanish soccer star Lamine Yamal has been hospitalized after being stabbed near Barcelona.

The paper, citing unnamed official sources, said that Mounir Nasraoui was stabbed several times.

La Vanguardia mentioned that Nasraoui is in serious but stable condition.

The report also noted that some arrests have been made, but did not provide further details.

Local police did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press late Wednesday.

Spain won the European Championship in July with Yamal as part of the team. He played a role in setting up Nico Williams’ opening goal in a 2-1 victory over England and won the tournament’s best young player award just a day after turning 17.
