In the early morning of June 6, Spain defeated France with a score of 5-4 in the dramatic UEFA Nations League semi-final. The match between the two teams was a delight for viewers, especially from the perspective of the superstars.
Yamal scored 2 goals, while Mbappe had 1 goal and 1 assist. A match that was almost evenly matched on an individual level.
But according to Sofascore , Yamal still dominated with a score of 9.7, thereby becoming the best player of the match. The corresponding number for Mbappe was only 8.4. Not to mention, Mbappe only really broke through when Spain showed signs of complacency when leading 5-1.
France's defeat to Spain also led to a sad result for Mbappe. It was his 6th consecutive defeat against Yamal in the past year.
In their entire careers, Mbappe and Yamal have met a total of 7 times. The first time was in the quarter-finals of the 2023-2024 Champions League.
This was also the only time Mbappe won against Yamal. He scored 2 goals to help PSG beat Barca with a total score of 6-4 after 2 matches.
But since then, Mbappe has lost to Yamal 6 times in a row, from July 2024 to present.
First up is the semi-final between France and Spain at Euro 2024. Mbappe had 1 assist in this match, but Yamal shined brighter with a superb long-range shot, helping Spain come back to win 2-1.
After Mbappe moved to Real Madrid, he had a total of 4 matches against Barca. And each time the French superstar had to accept defeat.
In the very first "super classic" match, Mbappe suffered a humiliating defeat when Barca won 4-0. Yamal personally scored 1 goal.
In the second leg of the La Liga "super classic", Mbappe scored 2 goals, but Yamal with 1 goal was still the overall winner with a score of 4-3 in favor of Barca.
Sandwiched between those were two matches in the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey final. Both of these matches were Yamal's own shows, as the eldest scored and assisted, while Mbappe went empty-handed.
And the latest was Spain's victory over France. Yamal and his teammates could have won even more if they hadn't been complacent after leading 5-1.
Over the past 3-4 years, the football world has put Mbappe - Haaland in a rivalry, inheriting the Messi - Ronaldo race for the position of the best player in the world .
But it seems that Mbappe's real rival is Yamal - who is following in Messi's footsteps on his magical journey at Barca.
