Barcelona and Spain forward Lamine Yamal made a geographical mistake while promoting a Champions League ticket giveaway, confusing Azerbaijan with Kazakhstan.
As reported by İdman.Biz, the 19-year-old footballer appeared in a video handing out headphones to passersby and announcing a special "golden ticket" competition. The winner will receive two tickets to a Champions League match and a pair of boots signed by Yamal.
However, when asked which match the lucky winner would attend, the Barcelona youngster repeatedly mentioned Kazakhstan.
"If it were up to me, I would give them tickets to the match in Kazakhstan and send them there. Let them go to the match in Kazakhstan. Let them go to the match in Kazakhstan," Yamal said.
According to Barcelona's official fixture schedule, the Spanish international apparently confused Kazakhstan with Azerbaijan.
The Catalan club are scheduled to face Azerbaijan's Sabah in the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League league phase on November 25. The match will take place at the Baku Olympic Stadium.
The upcoming encounter will bring Barcelona to the Azerbaijani capital for an important European fixture, although Yamal's comments suggest he may need to brush up on his geography before the trip.
