Lamine Yamal hopes to emulate Kylian Mbappe by winning the World Cup as a youngster, but first his Spain will have to get the better of France and their captain in Tuesday’s semi-final. When Mbappe scored in France’s victory against Croatia in the 2018 final, he was just 19 years and 207 days old. He thus became the second youngest to score in a World Cup final, after Pelè, who had achieved it at the age of 17 in 1958. Yamal has already had his great moment in an important tournament: his splendid goal in the Euro 2024 semi-final against France contributed to the 2-1 victory of the “red furies”. That goal came four days before his seventeenth birthday which fell the day before the final. Spain then overtook England and Yamal was named best young player of the tournament. This time his nineteenth birthday falls on the eve of the semifinal in Arlington. All the more reason to give yourself an unforgettable gift.
