Yamal’s personal commitment to Ramadan

Legit.ng earlier reported that Yamal’s decision to observe Ramadan is deeply personal and it was gathered that his grandmother Fatima, who is currently on a pilgrimage to Mecca, influenced the idea.

The Barcelona star lives in a private flat and he chooses to break his fast with family at his uncle Abdul’s home, reinforcing his connection to tradition.

While fasting, Yamal continued to deliver outstanding performances for Barcelona as his participation in Ramadan has not affected his output, which has already seen him register 11 goals and 15 assists across all competitions this season.
