‘Touch of genius’ - Luis de la Fuente hails Lamine Yamal after Spain stunner at Euro 2024

Spain boss Luis de la Fuente was full of praise for Lamine Yamal after the Barcelona star scored a stunner against France at Euro 2024.

France took the lead early on, but Yamal curled a brilliant goal past Mike Maignan to make it 1-1 and write his name into the history books.

Dani Olmo went on to score the winner that sends Spain into the Euro 2024 final, but there’s no doubt it was Yamal who stole all the headlines in Munich.

“We saw a touch of genius from a footballer who we all need to take care of,” he told reporters afterwards.
