Mounir Nasroui sat down with El Chiringuito the day after a terrifying ordeal that left him hospitalized. The father of two had been stabbed three times in his family's own neighbourhood, in a shocking act of violence.

The father of Barcelona superkid Lamine Yamal says he's grateful to God after escaping serious injury following a stabbing attack on Thursday.AdvertisementAdvertisement

"Thank God I just got on the floor and I'm a little better. Thank you all very much. You have to be calmer for the good of all. For mine and for my family, I have to be calmer. I have no other choice. You have to think that justice will do its job, it will surely do it. That is the most important thing. God is very great and everything has a solution," he said.

"I saw myself between life and death, of course I was afraid. Like any human being. I don't know when I'm leaving the hospital, but I hope it's as soon as possible. I am grateful to speak again."

He concluded, saying: "This year, Barça will be a great team and we will do great things."
