Lamine Yamal has once again proved himself to be one of the biggest football personalities off the pitch when he showed up for Spain's FIFA World Cup Round of 32 match against Austria in a Batman-inspired outfit.
The Barcelona superstar was wearing the official Spain tracksuit, a black cap, sunglasses, and a thick chain with a big Batman pendant. The special accessory soon became one of the most discussed moments before the match, and fans posted pictures and videos of Yamal's arrival on social media.
While Spain's focus remained firmly on reaching the Round of 16, Yamal once again proved he knows how to make an impression before even stepping onto the pitch.
