Luis de la Fuente’s choice to summon Lamine Yamal comes as no surprise. After being removed from Morocco’s list, Walid Regragui indicated that the Barça striker had chosen Spain: “It’s a personal choice. We have worked on this subject, but we cannot force anyone to play for Morocco. We are aware of his potential and what he has ahead of him. He was born in Spain. I wouldn’t want to have to make such a decision at his age. “, he declared in a press conference.
