LAMINE YAMAL’s dad was given a talking-to by security after appearing to rile up Real Betis supporters.
Mounir Nasraoui – known on Instagram as hustle_hard_304 – watched his son score in a 5-3 Barcelona win from the stands of Estadio Benito Villamarin on Saturday.
But things nearly turned nasty when hostility began brewing between him and the Betis fans sat nearby.
A video circulating on social media appears to show Nasraoui blowing kisses from his seat.
And reports in Spain suggest that he ‘provoked‘ opposition supporters throughout the game.
Dozens of fans stood to take a closer look when Yamal‘s dad was approached by a member of the stadium security team.

Chants of “Fuera! Fuera! Fuera!” followed, which translates to “Out! Out! Out!”
It’s unclear from the video exactly what Nasraoui did to get on the wrong side of Betis fans – or what the conversation with security entailed.
The famous footy star’s dad ended up having the last laugh as Barca hit the hosts for five in an entertaining victory.
Antony opened the scoring for Betis but Hansi Flick’s team were well up by the interval thanks to a first-half hat-trick from Ferran Torres, and Roony Bardghji’s maiden LaLiga goal.
Yamal then made sure of the points with a 59th-minute penalty, before Betis netted two consolations.
The Spanish international, 18, has scored six goals and set up seven more in just 12 league games this season.
And the goal contributions should keep flowing if Flick continues to experiment with him as an attacking midfielder, as he did on Saturday.
The Barca boss said: “He has worked with the rest of his team-mates. It is one of the options we have.
“We decided with the coaches. We asked him if he would like to play as a 10 and he said yes.
“Everything I saw of Lamine was good. The connection with Roony. The most important thing was his defensive contribution. It was incredible.”
