Things We Love to See: Lamine Yamal and Hector Fort Exchange Shirts After Elche Clash
Still friends after all.
Barcelona celebrated a 3-1 victory over Elche, in a match that featured two familiar faces on opposite sides — Héctor Fort and Iñaki Peña, both currently on loan to Elche.
Throughout the game, Fort was tasked with marking his former teammate, Lamine Yamal — a matchup that drew plenty of attention from fans. Yet, once the final whistle sounded, the competitive tension disappeared completely.
The two 18-year-olds were seen laughing and exchanging shirts, a heartwarming display of friendship that transcended club rivalry. Their genuine smiles reminded everyone that football isn’t just about competition — it’s also about lasting bonds and mutual respect.
A simple but touching gesture between two rising stars who once shared the same dressing room — proving that no matter where they play, their connection remains strong.
