Lamine Yamal has been a generational talent. The 17-year-old is having his best time at the start of his senior career for club and country. He recently won the UEFA Euro 2024 with Spain. Throughout the tournament, the FC Barcelona winger performed amazingly. At 17, he has been ruling the world football with head-turning statistics. It also highlights the ongoing excellence he is delivering for Spain during the international break.
Spain played their second game in the UEFA Nations League against Switzerland. Their first match against Serbia was a 0-0 draw. The Euro champions came roaring back with a 4-1 win over the Swiss side. The Catalonian winger has once again dazzled through the Swiss defense and assisted the first goal for the side four minutes into the game. Joselu scored from a well-delivered cross from the Barca prodigy.
Lamine Yamal was taken off after 45 minutes but by the time he was there on the pitch, he created problems down the wings for Switzerland’s defenders. Despite his young age, the Barcelona youth product has often proven to be one of Spain’s most significant players. The prodigy has even surpassed Vinicius Junior who is favourite contender for the Ballon d’Or 2024 season.
Vinicius Jr is just a PR-hyped footballer
It is embarrassing for the Brazilian who had an amazing season with Real Madrid. However, he has always failed to deliver in the national colours. Speaking of his national records he has just 5 goals and 5 assists to his name in 34 games he played for the nation. However, during the time of Neymar, he was not even the first-choice starter for the side.
Yamal after the 2022 FIFA World Cup has almost started Spain’s every game that the team played. He has played 16 games so far for La Roja and has three goals and 9 assists to his name. The Spanish prodigy has left the Brazilian in the dust and showing the world it is just the PR of Vinicius that he is so hyped up by the football fans.
