Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal makes history in Spain’s Euro 2024 clash

Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal made history on Friday after becoming the youngest player to play for Spain.

The forward was initially named on the bench for La Roja’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Georgia but came on in the 44th minute.

Yamal has now beaten the record previously held by Barca team-mate Gavi to become his country’s youngest player at the age of 16 years and 57 days.
