Yamal, representing both Barcelona and Spain, etched his name in history by becoming the first 16-year-old to compete in a men’s European Championship. In Spain’s opening match against Croatia, aged just 16 years and 338 days, Yamal not only started but also assisted Real Madrid’s Dani Carvajal for Spain’s third goal. This assist not only showcased Yamal’s skill but also made him the youngest player ever to provide an assist in Euro history, solidifying his reputation as a record-breaker.
During the Group B fixture against Croatia, Yamal played a pivotal role, contributing significantly to Spain’s commanding 3-0 victory. Goals from Spain’s captain Alvaro Morata, Fabian Ruiz, and Dani Carvajal, all in the first half, highlighted the team’s strength. With Yamal’s ongoing impact, fans eagerly anticipate his leadership in Spain’s quest for Euro 2024 glory.
