Yesterday, 16-year-old Spanish prodigy Lamine Yamal emerged as one of the key figures in the first semifinal of the 2024 European Championship against France, which Luis de la Fuente's team won 2-1. It was Yamal who, with an incredible long-range strike in the 21st minute, equalized after Spain had conceded an early goal.
However, goals and assists are not the only areas where Yamal has shone in this tournament.
In the last two major tournaments (World Cup 2022, Euro 2024), only two players have achieved 15+ key passes, 15+ shots, and 15+ successful dribbles. These players are Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal.
