Lamine Yamal was only 16 years and 352 days old when Spain played in the Euro 2024 semi-final. However, the student impressed after scoring a superb goal and was voted man of the match in the semi-final against France at the Allian Arena on the morning of July 10.

After the match, former Man Utd centre-back Rio Ferdinand also praised the young Spanish talent and the former England star was amazed by Lamine Yamal's talent. "Yamal is doing extraordinary things, what he has done at Euro this year is unprecedented," said Rio Ferdinand. The former England centre-back also believes that Lamine Yamal is seemingly unstoppable and that the 16-year-old has achieved achievements in his career that many professional footballers dream of. Former England striker Gary Lineker said that the semi-final match against France was a milestone showing that Yamal has become a world-class player: "A superstar has just appeared, there will be no one better than Yamal in this match, that is beyond dispute." The goal against France made Yamal the youngest player to score at a Euro when he was just 16 years and 362 days old. Previously this record was held by Swiss player Johan Vonlanthen (18 years, 141 days), also in the match against the French team at Euro 2004.

This is the second major record set at the tournament in Germany by the Barcelona player, who previously became the youngest player to appear at a Euro at the age of 16 years and 338 days. Yamal played in Spain's win over Croatia in the Euro 2024 group stage. French football expert and former Napoli coach Rudi Garcia made the following comments after the semi-final at the Allianz Arena. "That's football, it often goes against what we expect. France didn't score from the opening moves, but they did it from the first chance. Then they conceded two goals in four minutes, despite playing solidly from the start. Both goals were very good and Spain won thanks to more talented stars," coach Rudi Garcia told the French press. Yamal's goal was the start for Spain to turn the situation around and reach the final against England or the Netherlands. Coach Luis De La Fuente called his student's masterpiece "a moment of genius for a genius". "We will do everything to maximize Yamal's footballing ability, so that he continues to work hard and keep his feet on the ground. We are happy that he has chosen to play for the Spanish team", Coach De La Fuente shared.

Spain have won all six of their Euro 2024 matches, and De La Fuente's style of play has been praised compared to the defensive style of the pre-tournament favourites England and France. De La Fuente has also urged fans not to worry about the injury to captain Morata, who was pushed to the ground by a security guard while celebrating. Spain will also welcome back Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand for the Euro 2024 final on July 15, when the two players have finished their suspensions.
