A video that circulated on social networks has put a young butcher from Curumaní, in the department of Cesar, under the spotlight of international attention. The clip, published by an employee of the “Carnes La Garantía” butcher shop, shows the worker carrying out his usual tasks while his face and hairstyle are surprisingly reminiscent of the FC Barcelona striker, Lamine Yamal. The similarity was so evident that the author of the video decided to make fun of the situation, adding a humorous narration suggesting that the footballer had left the club and moved to Colombia to sell meat.
The video begins with a shot of the young man, who is wearing curly hair with light highlights, very similar to the style that Yamal has popularized in recent months. The narrator, in a joking tone, comments: “Lamine after the classic,” and then continues with a fictional story in which the player would have lost a key match, resigned from Barça and moved to the northern part of Colombia to work in the butcher shop. The joke spread quickly, generating thousands of views and comments on social platforms.
Although the video is clearly a parody, the public reaction has been greater than that of football fans. In the comments section, users from all over the world have shared photos of the butcher shop and the worker, comparing their appearance with that of the Spanish striker. Some users have pointed out that the similarity is not limited to the face, but also to the posture and the way the body moves, which has added a touch of humor to the piece.
Regarding the club's response, FC Barcelona has not issued any official statement regarding the incident. For his part, the young butcher, whose name has not been revealed in the video, has maintained a calm attitude, pointing out that the situation has brought him unexpected notoriety and that he remains focused on his daily work. No legal claim or action by the media has been reported.
The video, which has gone viral in a matter of hours, has opened a debate about the influence of digital media on the lives of ordinary people. At the same time, it has shown how a simple physical resemblance can generate a wave of media attention in the age of social media. Meanwhile, the future of the young butcher seems promising, since his notoriety has opened up new business opportunities and interaction with followers from all over the world.
