Prodigy Yamal wins big again, defeating Bellingham and being awarded a prestigious UEFA prize.

According to UEFA's announcement, Lamine Yamal's goal in the semi-final match between Spain and France (9.7) topped the voting list. In the 21st minute, Lamine Yamal received the ball just outside the French penalty area, and after a calm touch, the Spanish player curled a beautiful shot, completely beating goalkeeper Mike Maignan. Lamine Yamal achieved this at just 16 years and 362 days old, making him the youngest player to score in EURO history. This was also Lamine Yamal's only goal at EURO 2024.

Lamine Yamal creates stunning masterpieces.

French goalkeeper Mike Maignan was helpless.

Notably, this result allowed Lamine Yamal to once again beat Jude Bellingham – the England player. Previously, Jude Bellingham had scored a spectacular bicycle kick in the Round of 16 against Slovenia (June 30). The goal not only stunned fans but also helped England equalize 1-1 in the 90+5th minute, before winning 2-1 in extra time. However, Jude Bellingham only finished second in the race for the best goal award.

UEFA also added that the Best Goal of EURO 2024 award is based on the voting results of the EURO 2024 Technical Committee, which includes many renowned coaches such as Fabio Capello, Michael O'Neill, David Moyes, Rafa Benitez, Avram Grant, Frank de Boer, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ioan Lupescu, Aljoša Asanović, Packie Bonner, Aitor Karanka, and Jean-Francois Domergue. They have closely followed each player since the beginning of EURO 2024, and in addition to the Best Goal award, the EURO 2024 Technical Committee also directly voted for the Best Player, the Team of the Tournament, the Best Young Player, and the Best Goalkeeper.

Jude Bellingham's goal is only ranked second.

In his first appearance at the EUROs, Lamine Yamal delivered an outstanding performance. The Barcelona striker broke numerous records, helping the Spanish national team win the title. "La Roja" also officially made history in the tournament as the most successful team with four championships. In addition to the Best Goal and Best Young Player awards, Lamine Yamal was also voted into the tournament's best XI.

In the top 10 most beautiful goals of EURO 2024, besides the two goals by Lamine Yamal and Jude Bellingham, other goals by Xherdan Shaqiri (Switzerland), Nicolae Stanciu (Romania), Arda Guler (Turkey), Mert Muldur (Turkey), Fabian Ruiz (Spain), Ollie Watkins (England), Mattia Zaccagni (Italy), and Xavi Simons (Netherlands) were also honored.
