Barcelona's winger Lamine Yamal continues to prove his status as a key and absolutely irreplaceable player for the Spanish national team.
Details: According to Squawka, Spain has won every single one of the seven major tournament matches (European Championships and World Cups) in which Yamal has started from the first minute.

Moreover, Spain's unbeaten streak in all competitions when Lamine is in the starting eleven has now reached an impressive 22 matches in a row. During this run, La Roja has claimed 16 victories and drawn 6 times. Such outstanding numbers make the 18-year-old forward the main weapon for Spain in their pursuit of World Cup gold this year.
It's worth noting that in the match against Saudi Arabia, he even managed to get on the scoresheet, although Saudi Arabia came away with the victory.
Reminder: Spain has been rocked by a major scandal: Lamine Yamal has been accused of hiding a secret daughter.
