It is a historic day. As anticipated, Lamine Yamal was established on the suitable wing of the Spanish 11 in opposition to Croatia this Saturday. And by stepping onto the pitch of the Olympic stadium in Berlin, the FC Barcelona participant turned, at 16 years, 11 months and 338 days, the youngest participant to play a match on the Euro. What a file of precocity for the younger nugget who had an XXL season with FC Barcelona (7 targets, 10 assists). Earlier than Yamal, the youngest participant to play a match at a Euro was Poland’s Kacper Kozlowski, who was 17 years and 246 days previous when he confronted Spain in 2021.
If he scores a aim, he’ll logically grow to be the youngest scorer in a Euro match. The file is at present held by Switzerland’s Johan Vonlanthen, who was 18 years and 141 days previous when he scored in opposition to France in 2004.
