Yamal appeared in every one of La Roja's seven EURO 2024 games, starting all but the Matchday 3 victory over Albania. He became the tournament’s youngest-ever player when he started the 3-0 win against Croatia on Matchday 1 (16 years, 338 days), and then set a new mark as EURO’s youngest-ever scorer when he bent in a wonderful goal against France in the semi-finals (16 years, 362 days).

He turned 17 the day before the 2-1 final victory against England on Sunday, making him the youngest-ever player to feature in a EURO or FIFA World Cup showpiece. He made his mark again in the final, teeing up the opening goal for Nico Williams in yet another impressive all-round performance.

GOLDEN BOY. 🌟🏆
