Explodes Youngest Euro Scoring At 16
The emergence of a new genius is stirring up the global soccer community. The hero is Lamine Yamal, who had already drawn full attention by breaking the youngest record in Spain's professional soccer La Liga. Born on July 13, 2007, Ramin Yamal, who will soon turn 17 years old, marked the arrival of his era by setting the record of being the youngest player to score at the European soccer festival, which is comparable to the World Cup.
Yamal scored the equalizer against France in the Euro 2024 semifinal at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 10th, helping Spain advance to the final. Spain, which reached its fifth final in 12 years, is aiming for its fourth championship ever. It will compete with the winner of the England-Dutch match on the 15th.
In the first nine minutes of the first half, Spain allowed Colo Muani to score the first goal after leaping from the goalpost and putting his head on Kylian Mbappe's cross. It was Yamal who changed the mood of France's offensive. In the 21st minute of the first half, he created a space with a trick from the right side of the penalty arc and stabbed the corner of the goal with a left-footed kick. French goalkeeper Mike Menyang threw himself to reach out, but the ball that flew off with a soft trajectory hit the goal post and entered the goalpost. Yamal, who had recorded three assists this year, scored a goal in one of the world's most dream stages. Yamal, who is 16 years and 362 days old, broke the record of being the youngest scorer (18 years and 141 days) at the 2004 tournament by Switzerland's Johann Volenten, and set a new milestone. Four minutes later, Dani Olmo scored a come-from-behind goal for Spain, which eventually won 2-1.
Yamal, who mainly uses his left foot and stands out for his fast speed and flexible dribbling ability, joined the FC Barcelona Youth Team (La Masia) in 2014 and has grown to be considered the best talent since Messi. In the middle of the 2022-23 season, he came to the first team after being called by coach Xavi Hernandez to set a record for the "youngest first-team call-up" and was replaced against Real Betis in April last year, setting a record for the youngest debut in the league in the team's history.
After the opening of the 2023-24 season, he played in Sunba in the second round and set a new record of becoming the youngest player in La Liga, helping the youngest in La Liga in the third round, and the youngest debut goal in La Liga in the ninth round. Yamal, who also solidified his starting position in the first division with seven goals and nine assists in 47 games, continued his strides in the national team. He made his debut as the youngest ever in Spain's A-match through the Euro 2024 qualifying round in September last year, and set a new record for the youngest score in Spain's A-match.
Yamal also made his presence known by scoring the youngest offensive point in the history of the Euro tournament by posting an assist in the first group match against Croatia, and even the youngest debut goal. Yamal is atop in the tournament with help in six games and three assists. If he adds help in the final and holds an individual image in the trophy, he will achieve a "hwarong peak" with an unprecedented record. 토토사이트 꽁머니
Yamal was originally able to choose between the three national teams. He was born in Catalonia, Spain, where his father was from Morocco and his mother was from Equatorial Guinea. Although Yamal has been playing in Spain since his adolescent years, what is interesting is that he has been paying tribute to his father and mother's country by engraving the national flags of Morocco and Guinea on soccer boots.
What's more interesting is that Messi, Yamal's idol, is currently participating in the Copa America USA 2024, a South American soccer festival, wearing the same soccer shoe model. Recently, Yamal and Messi's mysterious relationship has become a hot topic of conversation. Messi, who became the star of Barcelona in September 2007, participated in an annual charity event for local newspapers and UNICEF. It was an event where both Barcelona players and local residents take pictures to be printed on the calendar. The Yamal family entered the lottery and won the prize, and Yamal, who is two months old, happened to be paired up with Messi for a photo. The lens shows a young man with long hair washing Yamal in a plastic bathtub next to his mother. The scene was reportedly posted on social media last week by Yamal's father, who posted a picture saying, "The beginning of two legends."
