NEW DELHI: Lamine Yamal, a 16-year-old Barcelona prodigy, drew comparisons to Lionel Messi with another standout performance at the Euro 2024 in Spain's 1-0 win over Italy on Thursday. Displaying extraordinary skill, he navigated past defenders with ease, impressing fans and dignitaries including Spain's King Felipe VI.
One notable moment occurred in the middle of the first half. Yamal, positioned inside from his right wing, skillfully dribbled through the tackles of Italy's Federico Dimarco and Jorginho, keeping the ball tightly controlled with his left foot. Managing to evade another challenge, he passed to Alvaro Morata, who managed to take a shot.
