Lamine Yamal Becomes Youngest Player to Ever Feature at the European Championships
15-Year-Old Barcelona Teenager Makes History in Spain's Group B Opener
Lamine Yamal, a 15-year-old Barcelona academy player, broke into the record books on Saturday as the youngest player to ever feature at the European Championships.
The Spanish teenager came on as a substitute in the 89th minute of Spain's 3-0 victory over Croatia in their Group B opener.
Yamal's brief cameo made him the youngest player to ever represent Spain at the European Championships, surpassing Bojan Krkić, who was 16 years and 226 days old when he debuted in 2008.
Yamal's appearance caps off a remarkable rise for the young midfielder, who has been a standout performer for Barcelona's youth teams in recent years.
He made his debut for Barcelona's B team at the age of 14 and has already represented Spain at the under-16 and under-17 levels.
Yamal's inclusion in Spain's squad for the European Championships is a testament to his talent and potential.
He is one of the most exciting young players in Europe and will be one to watch in the years to come.
