Spain’s 16-year-old prodigy Lamine Yamal set a record when he scored a super goal against France in the semi-finals of EURO 2024

Spanish striker Lamine Yamal became the youngest scorer in Euro history, at the age of 16 years and 132 days.

Yamal needed just 21 minutes to make his mark in the Euro 2024 semi-finals, when Spain was leading 1-0 against France.

After Kolo Muani headed the ball past Unai Simon, Lamine Yamal had an extremely impressive response.

Super goal by Lamine Yamal

The teenage player pretended to shake to the right before turning inside and then making a beautiful left-footed shot. The ball passed through the reach of goalkeeper Maignan, hit the post and flew into the net.

With his first goal in the tournament in Germany, Yamal wrote his name in history when he scored against France at the age of 16 years and 132 days.

This achievement means that Lamine Yamal surpassed Johan Vonlanthen’s record (18 years and 141 days) to become the youngest goalscorer in Euro history.

Yamal’s masterpiece also made BBC commentator Wilson jump out of his chair with excitement.

At the end of the match at Allianz Arena, Lamine Yamal was also honored to receive the award for Best Player in the France vs Spain match.
