Lamine Yamal's record-breaking debut and birthday celebration at Euro 2024

Lamine Yamal stayed in Euro 2024 for so long that he celebrated his 17th birthday in Germany. Thus, the Spanish representative is getting closer to adulthood. On Saturday, he blew out a candle on an extraordinary football-shaped cake.

Lamine Yamal became the youngest debutant in the European Championship history, setting the record on 15 June, when Spain won 3-0 against Croatia.

Almost a month has passed, and the Spaniards are still stationed in Germany. They have won six matches, allowing them to advance to the final. In the group stage, La Roja proved to be better than Italy, Croatia, and Albania. They then eliminated Georgia, Germany, and France from the tournament.

The team celebrated Lamine Yamal's birthday on the eve of the final with England. The team's youngest player was born 17 years ago, on 13 July 2007. There was no grand celebration, but that does not mean the Spaniards did not mark Lamine Yamal's birthday.

The youngster received, among other things, a football-shaped cake from Adidas. They are the technical partner of the Spanish national team and supply their kits. The silver ball was prepared by the manufacturer, especially for the semi-finals and the final of Euro 2024.

Those present at the ceremony sang a song for the occasion, and although it sounded melancholic, it was applauded by Lamine Yamal. Then, the player made a wish, blew out the candle, and tasted the cake. The taste of the pastry made an excellent impression on him. The unusual shape did not prevent the confectioners from ensuring the most important quality.

It is unknown whether Lamine Yamal wished to win the European Championship when blowing out the candle, but it is highly probable. That may come true just a day after his birthday. On Sunday at 9 PM, the Euro 2024 final will start, with Spain facing England.
