At Euro 2024, Yamal not only made headlines with his goal-scoring prowess but also set three significant records: he became the youngest player ever to represent Spain, the youngest to score for Spain, and the youngest to assist for Spain.

Yamal’s performance at Euro 2024 also saw him break the age records for the tournament, becoming the youngest player to feature in a Euro competition and the youngest to do so in the knockout stages. Despite being just 16 years old, Yamal has already established himself as a key striker for Spain.

Born in 2007, the talented winger joins a select group of teenagers in Euro history who have recorded three assists in a single tournament, alongside names like Cristiano Ronaldo, Arda Guler, and Enzo Scifo.

In today’s match, occurring at 2 AM Vietnam time on July 10, Yamal etched his nаme in history as the youngest player ever to score in the Euros, breаking the 20-year record previously held by Swiss player Johan Vonlanthen, who scored at 18 years and 141 days old in a match against France on June 21, 2024.
