EURO 2024: Ollie Watkins and 9 historic minutes; How expensive is the young prodigy Lamine Yamal?">Lamine Yamal won the title of Best Young Player of the tournament while Rodri was the Best Player of the tournament. In the Top Scorer category, Dani Olmo and 5 other players, including Harry Kane, were honored. All 6 of these names have 3 goals at EURO 2024.
Against England early this morning, Lamine Yamal once again shone in the assist role. He helped Nico Williams open the scoring in the 49th minute. Thus, Yamal has had a hand in his 5th goal since the beginning of the tournament, with 4 assists and 1 goal. Along with Dani Olmo, Yamal is the player with the most goal contributions at EURO 2024. This detail is more than enough for him to win the Best Young Player award of the tournament.
Not stopping there, Yamal also set many records at this year's tournament. He made history as the youngest player ever to play at EURO (16 years and 338 days). In the final, he set a record as the youngest player ever to play in a EURO final (17 years and 2 days).

Even more broadly, Yamal also surpassed the legendary Pele to become the youngest player to play in a EURO or World Cup final.
Meanwhile, Rodri won the Best Player of the Tournament award. This midfielder made quiet but extremely important contributions. He became the ball transit point, the "anchor" for the Bulls to operate an effective high-pressing style of play. In the final, Rodri only played half the match, but he was still enough to convince the organizers to award him the Best Player of the Tournament award.
"I think the key to Spain's system is Rodri's role. He knows how to maintain a balanced and orderly play, bringing stability to Spain's system. So the centre-backs always have an advantage when he is next to them," former Spain player Miguel Nadal commented on Rodri's role.
