Lamine Yamal’s mother: “No matter how many of my son’s matches I watch, I still get nervous”

Even after watching her son play in countless matches, Sheila Ebana says the nerves have not gone away. “No matter how many of my son’s matches I watch, I still get nervous,” Yamal’s mother said in a video posted on social media.

No matter how many of my son’s matches I watch, I still get nervous.

Yamal, recently crowned a 2026 World Cup champion with Spain, has already won several titles with Barcelona and the national team. His success has placed him and his family under intense public attention, but Ebana said she still cannot watch a match without feeling anxious.

In the video, filmed with a small microphone and a swimming pool behind her, Ebana also shared several personal details. She said she has “two babies, one who is 19, Lamine, and another ‘sticker’ who is 4,” referring to Keyne, who appeared beside her and has become known for accompanying the forward in the stands.

Ebana said she was born and raised in Equatorial Guinea and moved to Spain at the age of 14. She said she loves spending time with her family, is “much shyer than I seem on Instagram,” and is often late. “If I have an appointment, I never arrive on time, I need to improve,” she said, laughing.

She added that social media represents “a new facet of my life.” She prefers savory food to sweet food and said her personal habit is sleeping with socks on, regardless of the season. The post drew more than 150,000 likes and around 2,500 comments.
