Lamine Yamal breaks 11 records just one year after making professional debut at Barcelona

Lamine Yamal at just 16 years old, continues to make headlines and break records, with his latest coming against France at Euro 2024.

He is now the youngest player to ever score in the European Championship.

His stunning goal leveled the score for Spain against France in their Euro 2024 semi-final in Munich.

Spain had a rough start, falling behind within the first 10 minutes as Randal Kolo Muani headed France into the lead following a brilliant setup by Kylian Mbappe.
