In the meantime, a post on social media has been going viral, where the 16-year-old young talent Lamine Yamal can be seen drilling. In the post, a user mocked Barcelona on their financial problems and makes fun of them writing, “Barca is so broke, they're putting their players to work building the stadium.”
