According to local sources, a confrontation escalated into violence, resulting in Nasraoui being stabbed multiple times.

He was rushed to Can Ruti hospital in Badalona, where he received emergency treatment.

The incident has prompted an investigation by Mataro's Mossos d'Esquadra police, who are currently gathering witness statements to determine the circumstances leading up to the attack.

While initial reports painted a grim picture of Nasraoui's condition, subsequent updates suggest he is "out of danger" and has been discharged from the hospital.

The investigation continues, with some speculation that the stabbing may have stemmed from a previous altercation, though details remain unclear.

Nasraoui, a Moroccan-born resident of Spain, has been a constant presence in his son's burgeoning soccer career.

He was a fixture in the stands as 17-year-old Lamine Yamal helped Spain secure the European Championship title this summer, with the young star playing a pivotal role in La Roja's success.

The attack on Nasraoui has shocked the soccer community, particularly in his home neighborhood of Rocafonda in Mataro, where Lamine was raised.

The elder Yamal's ties to the area are well known, with his son famously referencing Rocafonda in his "304" celebration, a nod to the neighborhood's postal code.

Authorities are working diligently to piece together the events that led to this violent incident, as soccer fans and the broader public await further updates on Nasraoui's condition and the ongoing investigation.

Yamal is gearing up for the start of the Spanish' La Liga, where the Barcelona star will compete to make newspaper headlines with Kylian Mbappe, who made his debut for Real Madrid tonight in the UEFA Supercup where the capital's team took home the silverware against Atalanta 2-0.

Mbappe scored the second goal of the night for his new team.

Barcelona will make their league debut on Saturday, August 17 against Valencia.
