Spain wonderkid Lamine Yamal has had a charmed run in the European Championship.
UpdatedSTUTTGART, Germany — Germany and Spain, both record three-time Euro champions, meet in a juicy quarterfinal on Friday.
“He’s only 16 so there are big chances for our players in that regard to defend him," Nagelsmann said at a news conference on Thursday. Yamal came to Euro 2024 with a bunch of ‘youngest’ records, and has inevitably set more. He became the youngest player to feature at a men's Euro when he started in Spain’s opening 3-0 win over Croatia.
“For a 16-year-old, he’s come a long way. When you look at where I was at 16, he’s at a completely different place,” 33-year-old Germany and Barcelona midfielder İlkay Gündoğan said.
