Lamine Yamal has become the youngest debutant in the history of the European Championships. Age does not stop him from being one of Spain's leaders and steering the team towards the trophy. Since the start of the tournament, Lamine Yamal has been a crucial player in the team, which has already achieved six consecutive wins.

The Euro 2024 final will start on Sunday at 20:00 GMT, with Spain facing England. Lamine Yamal significantly contributed to the 2-1 victory against France in the semi-final, scoring a stunning goal outside the penalty area.

After scoring the phenomenal goal, many internet users followed Lamine Yamal on Instagram. Within two days of the semi-final, he gained 2.6 million followers on the social networking site, a tremendous increase.

Lamine Yamal was previously popular primarily in Spain. He is one of Robert Lewandowski's teammates at FC Barcelona, and in club football, he has showcased his talents in La Liga and European competitions.

Debuting in a major football tournament brought Lamine Yamal additional recognition, especially because he is a leading player in Euro 2024.

Fans are wondering what the future holds for the very talented teenager. Perhaps he will take the number one spot in world football. For decades, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were at the top. Subsequently, successors like Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, and Erling Haaland were anointed, but none have yet dominated world football.
