What is the new rumpus related to wunderkind Lamine Yamal?

Lamine Yamal plays for the Spanish National Team, even worthy of being called one of Spain's best talents for the future. Now interestingly, Yamal is not a bloodline from Equatorial Guinea and Morocco. The wundekind footballer deserves to be called one of Spain's best players at Euro 2024 so far. Despite being only 16 years old, he is trusted to play as a regular starter, his role may be irreplaceable.

Born in July 2007, the Barcelona wizard had a rather unique tournament, he even had to do his homework and take exams while at the Spanish national team camp in Germany. Yamal's records are also impressive, he is the youngest player in history to appear in the knockout stages of the Euros. Well, amid Yamal's brilliant actions on the field, fans were able to observe the details of the 16-year-old player's movements. Despite wearing a Spanish jersey, Yamal's boots have the flags of two other countries: Equatorial Guinea and Morocco. Yamal could have chosen to play for either of those two countries.

Yamal's mother is from Equatorial Guinea, while his father is from Morocco. So, if fate had been different, Yamal could have played in AFCON instead of the Euros. Just 16 years old, with huge potential, and already playing on the top international stage, the striker still hasn't forgotten his roots. Yamal's potential can also be seen from his impressive contribution on the field. According to Opta's records, Lamine Yamal is the first young player to make more than one assist in the European Cup or Euro since Cristiano Ronaldo did it in 2004.

Ronaldo also made two assists for Portugal at Euro 2004, at that time Ronaldo was only 19 years old and was already being touted as a future world star. Now, 20 years on, Ronaldo's record has finally been matched, even more impressively, Lamine Yamal is only 16, has already made two assists at the Euros, and could have more with games left.

Furthermore, Yamal became the second player after Zinedine Zidane to create more than five chances and take more than five shots in a single Euro match, with 6 chances and 7 shots in Spain's 4-1 win over Georgia.
