Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal is one of the players in focus as Spain and England gear up for the European Championship final later this evening.
Aged just 17, Yamal has been one of Spain’s top performers in Euro 2024, racking up one goal and three assists.
During the course of Spain’s road to the final, Yamal has already broken several records, including becoming the youngest player to score in a major international competition – a record that was held by the legendary Pele since 1958.
Yamal eyeing another record ahead of Euro 2024 final
As Spain brace themselves for the Euro 2024 final against England this evening, it appears Lamine Yamal is eyeing yet another record.
Indeed, should he feature for La Roja in the final at the Olympiastadion, which he is certain to do, the Barcelona wonderkid would become the youngest player to play in a Euros final.
The Barcelona frontman could break another record if he scores – becoming the youngest player to score in a European final.
A goal in the final would indeed be an ideal way to cap off the Euro 2024 campaign for Yamal, who is set to receive a hero’s welcome to Barcelona this summer, regardless of tonight’s outcome against England.
Another player worth keeping an eye on tonight’s final will be Nico Williams, whose synergy with Yamal could help Spain break down a sturdy English defence at the Olympiastadion.
