In the final between Portugal and Spain, Yamal played 105 minutes but was substituted and did not make much of an impression. Ronaldo spoke up to defend his junior after Yamal was criticized.

CR7 said: "He will win many titles, both collective and individual. Yamal is only 17 years old, he is a kid with a lot of potential to develop. Yamal is a phenomenon, but we have to leave him alone, that's what I want. Yamal has a long career ahead and will definitely win the Nations League many times."

Yamal has been a standout performer for both Barcelona and the Spanish national team in his short time on the pitch. With 18 goals and 25 assists in all competitions, Yamal’s performances have caught the attention of many fans.

He is also on the list of nominees for the 2025 Ballon d'Or. However, Ronaldo believes that it is necessary to ask fans not to put too much pressure and expectation so that Yamal can develop properly.

Yamal faced Ronaldo in the last match.

On social media, many fans said the recent defeat was a wake-up call for Yamal after an explosive season. One fan wrote: “Golden Ballon d'Or candidate Yamal was defeated by 40-year-old Ronaldo, who is said to be past his prime.” Another agreed, saying: “No one will be cheering for Yamal to win the Golden Ball after this match.”

Another fan mentioned the legendary image of Yamal next to Lionel Messi, writing: "16 years ago, Messi shone next to Lamine Yamal, but tonight Ronaldo surpassed him."

Yamal and many of the Spanish internationals will be on summer break as Barcelona are not participating in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The team is expected to regroup in mid-July to prepare for the 2025/26 season.

Ronaldo twice stole the ball from Yamal's feet. In the early morning of June 9, Cristiano Ronaldo faced Lamine Yamal many times when Portugal defeated Spain to win the UEFA Nations League for the second time.
