Documentary "Revolució 304" reveals Lamine Yamal's sole La Masia stay and childhood roots

A new Catalan documentary has disclosed that Lamine Yamal was the only child his age allowed to live in Barcelona's La Masia academy.

• Former La Masia director Xavi Martin said Yamal arrived at age seven from La Torreta and became the only boy his age housed in the academy's facilities.
• Yamal said he visited his mother's hometown of Bata, Equatorial Guinea, just once, at age seven, and wants to return there.
• Yamal called his parents central figures in his upbringing, describing his father as a daily companion and his mother as a role model.
• The documentary screens a single photograph from Bata, which Yamal said his mother insisted on capturing as a lasting memory.
