WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Yamal attended the event alongside his Barça teammates Alejandro Balde and Hector Fort. The three youngsters received a rapturous welcome by the fans in attendance. Playing to the crowd, the 17-year-old gleefully flashed his new hardware while sporting a massive grin.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">LAMINE YAMAL IN THE CROWD IN SPAIN!<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SmackDown?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#SmackDown</a> <a href="https://t.co/MFhBy1Rm2X">pic.twitter.com/MFhBy1Rm2X</a></p>— The Movement - Pro Wrestling (@TheMovementXx) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheMovementXx/status/1900648662658691130?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 14, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT TRIPLE H AND DREW MCINTYRE SAID

<p>Luckily, Yamal doesn't have to worry about defending his ceremonial belt. Instead his focus will turn to Barcelona's top-of-the-table clash with Atletico Madrid on Sunday night. Next week, he'll report for duty with Spain ahead of their Nations League double header against the Netherlands. </p>
