Hilarious moment Lamine Yamal gives fake name to woman who asks him to take photo with no idea who Barcelona star is
LAMINE YAMAL went to extreme lengths to keep a low profile during a recent outing, giving an inquisitive woman a FAKE NAME.
The Barcelona and Spain winger is one of the most recognisable people on the planet.
Yamal, 17, is usually instantly recognised everywhere he goes and mobbed by scores of footie fans.
A woman, however, wasn’t quite sure of the wing wizard’s identity after asking him to take a photo of her and her pals.
But she had a sneaky suspicion he might be famous, saying to him as he held the camera: “Excuse me, what is your name?
As he attempted to take the snap, Yamal replied: “Ryan.”
The woman, however, wasn’t buying what the Barca star was selling.
She asked him: “And in reality?”
Yamal doubled down on his fake name, once again saying: “Ryan.”
The group of women behind the inquisitive lady, however, didn’t believe Yamal, shouting “noo” before one of them said his name.

Yamal and his pals urged them to get into position for the photo, with one of them shouting: “Photo, photo, photo! It’s now or never.”
Yamal completed his photographer duties after the group eventually posed in front of a picturesque background.
Footage of the bizarre incident went viral and received a slew of comments from footie fans, one of whom wrote on Instagram: “Just wow.”
Another wrote with a laughing emoji: “Ryan Yamal.”
And another said: “How can they even be asking again?”
One remarked: “Good disguise, Ryan.”
Another chimed in: “Lamine is a joker.”
Euro 2024 winner Yamal enjoyed yet another stellar season with Barcelona, who were dumped out of the Champions League semi-finals by Inter Milan this week.
The teenager has scored 15 goals so far this season and provided a whopping 24 assists for his team-mates.
