'I almost ran over Lamine Yamal' - Journalist reveals how he feared 'going to jail' after narrow escape with Barcelona wonderkid

Copa del Rey

Barcelona

Real Madrid

<p>Jose Antonio Ponseti, who works for media outlet Cadena SER, was busy with work commitments as Sant Jordi Day was celebrated on April 23. He found himself rushing around as part of his day job.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>At one point, he came close to knocking over 17-year-old sensation Yamal. Fortunately for all concerned, disaster was averted. Barcelona are eager to ensure that the<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-wonderkid-lamine-yamal-explains-why-ignore-lionel-messi-comparisons/blt6610d860cf726526" target="_blank"> latest superstar to emerge from their famed La Masia academy system</a> avoids any untimely knocks.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ponseti told <a href="https://x.com/ellarguero/status/1915184851470188686 " target="_blank"><em>El Larguero</em></a>: “I had a very funny anecdote when I was running from booth to booth during Sant Jordi Day. At the turn of the afternoon I almost ran over Lamine Yamal! I ran into him in a huff and I said, 'Man, what are you doing here?' He was with his entourage.”</p>

WHAT JOURNALIST SAID

<p>When it was pointed out that he could have caused quite a “mess” ahead of Barcelona’s Copa del Rey final clash with arch-rivals Real Madrid, Ponseti added: “If I injure him or take him down, imagine... Oh my God! I'll go to jail and never return to Barcelona!”</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Barca are set to take in another Clasico date with Real on Saturday, as more major silverware comes up for grabs. Yamal will be expected to shine in that contest after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ballon-dor-2025-power-rankings/bltd009fae5576d751f" target="_blank">registering 10 goals and 15 assists for the Liga table toppers</a> this season.</p>
