On 23/12, Yamal launched his eponymous YouTube channel, quickly amassing approximately 870,000 followers in less than one day.
His first video featured the Spanish forward giving viewers a tour of his former Barcelona home. The house appeared cluttered with moving boxes, as Yamal was preparing to relocate during filming.
A section of the house displayed Yamal's individual accolades, including the Golden Boy award, Kopa Trophy, and Best Young Player of Euro 2024.

In the video, Yamal revealed his love for vanilla scent, expressing a desire for his entire home to smell of it. He also mentioned preferring an early bedtime to wake up mid-night for cookies. "That's why I can't have a girlfriend, because I often wake up in the middle of the night," Yamal quipped.
The video also showcased some of his fashion items, gifts, and other personal belongings, though Yamal noted many items remain at his parents' home.
Yamal's career highlights are impressive. In 2024, he helped Spain win the Euro with one goal and four assists. For the 2024-2025 season, he scored 18 goals and provided 25 assists for Barca, securing three domestic titles and finishing second in both the Ballon d'Or and FIFA The Best awards. Born on 13/7/2007, Yamal comes from an immigrant family from Morocco and Equatorial Guinea. His parents separated when he was three, but raised him together in Barcelona. He joined Barca's scouting program at six and was immediately signed. After 10 years at the La Masia academy, he developed into one of the world's top players.
Yamal publicly introduced his girlfriend, Alex Padilla, during Euro 2024, but their relationship ended one month later. The 18-year-old forward also broke up with his most recent girlfriend, singer Nikki Nicole, following Barca's 1-2 loss to Real on 26/10. Coincidentally, since that match, Barca has secured eight consecutive La Liga victories, reclaiming the top position.
