Spanish prodigy just graduated from secondary school, consecutively sets EURO records

(VTC News) - Child prodigy Lamine Yamal set two records when he helped the Spanish team beat France in the semi-finals of EURO 2024.

Winger Lamine Yamal made a big contribution when the Spanish national team beat France 2-1 in the semi-finals of EURO 2024 early this morning (July 10). Lamine Yamal started in this match and broke two records. First, the moment he stepped onto the field, Yamal surpassed the milestone of "King of Football" Pele. The Spanish football prodigy became the youngest player to appear in the semi-finals of a major tournament (EURO or World Cup). Yamal (16 years 362 days) broke the record of "King of Football" Pele (17 years 244 days) at the 1958 World Cup. Yamal also left his mark with a beautiful long-range shot to level the score 1-1 for the Spanish team in the 21st minute. Then, Dani Olmo increased the score to 2-1 in the 25th minute for the Spanish national team. With the above goal, Yamal made history as the youngest player to score in EURO. The Barcelona winger surpassed a series of other faces such as Johan Vonlanthen (Switzerland, 18 years 141 days), Wayne Rooney (England, 18 years 237 days) and Renatos Sanches (Portugal, 18 years 317 days).

Lamine Yamal's goal

Previously, Yamal set a record as the youngest player to play in EURO when he played against Croatia in the group stage. At that time, Yamal was 16 years and 338 days old. The interesting thing about Yamal is that he just graduated from secondary school at the end of last month, while competing in EURO 2024. Accordingly, Lamine Yamal passed the ESO exam for the fourth time. The "child prodigy" of Spanish football completed secondary school (in Spain's 3-level education system). Lamine Yamal is considered an interesting phenomenon at EURO 2024. He caused a stir with the image of him carrying pen and paper to do homework and review while performing his duties in the national team. Last week, a photo of Yamal being bathed by Messi when he was just a few months old went viral on social networking sites. Many Spanish fans believe that Yamal is Messi's successor. Ahead of Yamal and Spain is the EURO 2024 final on July 15. They will face the winner of the match between England and the Netherlands.
