Spain sailed past Georgia to cement their spot in the Euro 2024 quarterfinals, with La Roja netting an impressive four goals.
While most players stepped up to the occasion, the dynamic wing pairing of Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams made the difference.
Nico Williams scored a sensational goal, while Yamal provided a precise inswinging assist for Fabian Ruiz.
With Nico’s electrifying 1v1 dribbling perfectly complementing Lamine Yamal’s creative vision and sharp decision-making, Spain’s wing pairing once again proved why they form the most formidable wide threat at the Euros.
Camaraderie on display
Following their impressive exploits, Nico and Lamine were both understandably in high spirits.
The two young stars decided to settle a dispute in a lighthearted manner by playing rock, paper, and scissors to determine who would get the first bottle of water.
Nico Williams ultimately won the contest, leaving Yamal playfully seeking a second chance.
This was just one of the many moments that captured their camaraderie. The pair have often been spotted together with the Spanish national team and have recorded multiple videos together.
In fact, their strong relationship also bodes well for Barcelona, who are one of the front runners for Nico’s signature.
Watching these two wingers get along so well and pose such problems to opposition defenders would surely be an incentive for the Blaugranas to recreate this spirited partnership in Catalonia.
After all, today was just another example of their remarkable talents. From ravaging runs to inch-perfect passes, Yamal and Nico had Georgia defenders chasing shadows.
Nico Williams is bound to enter the crosshairs of many top clubs after his incredible displays in the Euros so Barça will be sure to have their work cut out.
However, they can achieve the Spaniard’s signing by activating his €58 million release clause. Getting the player on board will be no problem since he prefers a move to the club.
