Euro 2024: Young gun Yamal fires Spain final
Spain booked their spot in the Euro 2024 final after a thrilling encounter with France.
The young guns of Spain, particularly 16-year-old wonderkid Lamine Yamal, stole the show.
France struck first through Randal Kolo Muani, but Yamal’s sensational curler from outside the box in the 21st minute stole the French thunder.
The record-breaking goal, scored at just 16 years and 362 days old, cemented Yamal’s place in European Championship history.
Spain doubled their lead shortly after when a Dani Olmo shot was deflected in by Jules Kounde. While France fought back in the second half, with Kylian Mbappé missing a key chance, Spain’s defence held firm.
This victory extends Spain’s perfect tournament record to five wins and a staggering 13 goals scored. Youngsters like Yamal and Nico Williams have been instrumental in their success.
Yamal, already a record-breaker at club level for Barcelona, showcased his composure and talent on the biggest stage. His wonder goal is a sign of things to come from this phenomenal young player.
Spain now await the winner of the England vs. Netherlands clash, aiming to secure their fourth European Championship title.
