Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal sets another record at Euro 2024 | OneFootball

In the world of football, a new sensation is making waves. Lamine Yamal, the 16-year-old winger from Barcelona and Spain, is shattering records and leaving fans in awe.

His impressive performance at Euro 2024 has cemented his position as one of the most promising young players in the sport and it seems there is absolutely no stopping him.

Yamal’s journey to international stardom began in the opening match against Croatia, where he became the youngest player to feature in a European Championship match at just 16 years and 338 days old.

Records continue to tumble

This achievement was only the beginning, as he went on to break another record by becoming the youngest player to participate in the knockout stages of the tournament, aged 16 years and 353 days.

The previous record holder, England’s Jude Bellingham, held the title at 18 years and 4 days old. However, Yamal’s remarkable talent and skill have allowed him to surpass this achievement.

His performance at Euro 2024 has also put him in contention to become the youngest player to score at the tournament, a title currently held by Switzerland’s Johan Vonlanthen at 18 years and 141 days old.

Additionally, Yamal has a chance to become the youngest player to feature in a Euro final, a record held by Portugal’s Renato Sanches at 18 years and 328 days old.

A brilliant performance against Georgia

Yamal’s impressive display against Georgia showcased his exceptional abilities. Despite not scoring, he provided an assist and created six chances, more than any other player on the field.

This outstanding performance has made him the only player to create over 10 chances and complete over 10 take-ons at Euro 2024, with an impressive 11 chances created and 11 take-ons completed.

His assists tally has now reached two, making him the leader in this category at Euro 2024.

Yamal’s achievements have drawn comparisons to football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, who was the last teenager to assist multiple goals at a single European Championship tournament back in 2004.

Lamine Yamal’s remarkable talent, skill, and achievements at such a young age have made him a rising star in the world of football. As he continues to break records and impress fans, it’s clear that this is just the beginning of an exciting journey for the young winger.
