Yamal entered the field in the match against Georgia in the 44th minute when he replaced Dani Olmo. At that time, the Spanish were already leading by four goals. His star moment came in the second half, specifically in the 74th minute. He received a ground pass from Williams from the left side and sent the ball into the net with a technical shot at the back post. He thus completed the demolition of Georgia in the qualification for the European Championship, which fell 1:7 at home.
Currently, with his stay on the pitch, the Barcelona player has surpassed the record of another young star of the “Blaugranas”, Gavi, who played for Spain for the first time in 2021, when he was 17 years and 62 days old. The Spanish midfielder also held the record for the youngest goalscorer, at the age of 17 years and 10 months he made his mark in Eden against the Czech national team. With his goal, Yamal moved the age on the record list by almost two years.
“I’m excited to get the chance to make my debut and score. I’m living a big dream right now. I have to thank my teammates and the coach for the trust they put in me, as well as everyone else who helped me on this journey,” Yamal gushed to Teledeportes after the match.
Spanish coach Luis de la Fuente sang odes to the Spanish talent after the final whistle. “He already looked very good on TV, but now that I’m working with him, it’s even better,” he smiled for the TV. “He is an important player for us now. Although he is very young, he already manages to play at a high level,” added the coach.
