After winning the Euro 2024 championship, Lamine Yamal made history. Accordingly, he became the youngest player to play in the final and win the major Euro/World Cup tournament at the age of 17 years and 1 day.
The Barcelona star broke the record held by the King of Football Pele at the 1958 World Cup. At that time, he won the title with the Brazilian team at the age of 17 years and 249 days.
In addition, Lamine Yamal also set another record. Accordingly, this striker had 4 assists in Euro 2024. He became the player with the most assists in a Euro finals. More impressively, the star born in 2007 did it when he was only 17 years old and participating in the tournament for the first time.
In total, Lamine Yamal has had 1 goal and 4 assists at Euro 2024. This player has set a series of records in the tournament such as Youngest player to play, assist, score and win the championship.

Thanks to that, Lamine Yamal won the title of Best Young Player of Euro 2024. This is a worthy reward for the efforts of this young striker.
Speaking after the match, Lamine Yamal said: “Winning the Euro is a dream come true for me. I can’t wait to return to Spain to celebrate this title. It’s the best gift for me right now. I want to celebrate with my family.”
Lamine Yamal admitted Spain struggled after England equalised: “When England equalised, they tried to attack. But I know the strength of Spain. We came back in time and won.”
After Euro 2024, Lamine Yamal’s value promises to skyrocket after his brilliant performance. He is considered Messi ‘s successor at Barcelona.
