Lamine Yamal, a 16-year-old prodigy, etched his name in the history books of the Euro 2024 tournament. The Spanish youngster became the youngest goalscorer in the competition's history, propelling his team to a 2-1 victory over France in Munich on Tuesday, July 9th.

France drew first blood in the ninth minute when Randal Kolo Muani headed in a Kylian Mbappé cross. However, Spain responded with remarkable resilience, turning the tide within a four-minute span. Yamal, who will celebrate his 17th birthday just a day before the final against either the Netherlands or England in Berlin, unleashed a stunning strike from outside the box, curling the ball past the outstretched fingertips of Mike Maignan and into the top corner.

Dani Olmo added to Spain's lead in the 25th minute, capitalizing on a loose ball and firing a low shot that deflected off Jules Kounde and into the net. Spain, renowned for their midfield dominance, adopted a more conservative approach after taking the lead, prioritizing possession over counter-attacks. This strategy proved effective as they controlled the tempo and secured the victory.
