Which Spanish city is listed as Lamine Yamal's birthplace?

Lamine Yamal’s listed birthplace is Esplugues de Llobregat, Spain.

Esplugues de Llobregat is a city in the Barcelona metropolitan area of Catalonia. Yamal was born there on 13 July 2007, but his early life is associated with several nearby places, which can make the answer confusing. He grew up in Mataró’s Rocafonda neighbourhood and also spent time in Granollers with his mother.

His football journey began at local club La Torreta in Granollers when he was four. Barcelona scouts later identified him at age six, and he entered Barcelona’s youth system in 2014. The academy, commonly known as La Masia, became the setting for his rapid development.

Barcelona is the nearby major city most often linked with Yamal because he plays for FC Barcelona and trained there from childhood. However, the question asks for the city listed as his birthplace, not the city associated with his club career or childhood. That canonical answer is Esplugues de Llobregat.
