In an impressive display in the 4:1 victory over Georgia, Spain’s young talents have rewritten the record books, demonstrating their potential and skill on the European stage.
Lamine Yamal, at just 16 years old, created six chances in the knockout stage match against Georgia, matching the record set by Cesc Fàbregas against Russia in 2008. Yamal’s remarkable feat also mirrors Pedri’s performance against Switzerland in 2021, underscoring Spain’s tradition of nurturing young, creative talent.
