Some weeks ago, reports surfaced on social media challenging Lamine Yamal's date of birth. It was claimed that the Barcelona youngster is 20, not 16.
However, in a question and answer section, Yamal saw the funny side of the reports. Asked about his age, he said: "I am 16. Or not. I am 30!" (laughs).
Yamal's reaction is a clear dig at a certain fanbase clad in white who were said to be behind the baseless rumours.
The 16-year-old has already recorded 13 goal contributions in 37 appearances for the Catalans so far this season.
He should add to his four international caps this weekend when Spain face Brazil and Colombia.
