Spain’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal got a fresh haircut ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup final against Argentina.
While footballers changing their hairstyles before major matches is nothing unusual, what grabbed attention was the luxurious arrival of Yamal’s barber in a Rolls-Royce.
Bryan Guardado, a well-known barber from the United States, has reportedly been looking after the grooming needs of the Spanish national team during the tournament.
The 22-year-old arrived at Spain’s team hotel on Friday, and a video of his stylish entry quickly went viral on social media.
In the clip, Guardado can be seen stepping out of the Rolls-Royce before giving Yamal a fresh haircut. The barber later received a signed Spain jersey from the young Barcelona star.
Meanwhile, Argentina captain Lionel Messi praised Yamal ahead of the World Cup final, describing him as an “amazing” player.
Messi said he had closely followed Yamal’s progress because the youngster plays for Barcelona, the club the Argentine legend represented for nearly two decades.
“Lamine is truly amazing, and I’ve followed him a lot because he plays for a club I love so much. He has a chance to achieve something historic, and we’re going to try to make sure that doesn’t happen this time,” Messi said in a post shared by ESPN FC on X.
Defending champions Argentina reached the final after securing a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over England in the semi-final.
England took the lead in the first half, but Enzo Fernandez equalised before Lautaro Martinez scored the winning goal in stoppage time.
The defeat ended England’s hopes of reaching their first World Cup final since 1966.
Spain, meanwhile, booked their place in the final for the first time since winning the trophy in 2010 after defeating France 2-0.
Yamal played an important role in the victory by dispossessing Lucas Digne and winning a penalty. Mikel Oyarzabal converted the spot kick in the 22nd minute to give Spain the lead.
Pedro Porro doubled Spain’s advantage after the break following a fine move involving Dani Olmo, while France struggled to create clear scoring opportunities.
The victory secured Spain’s second-ever appearance in a World Cup final.
