On the Euro Cup pitch, Spanish young star Lamine Yamal not only excelled in his performance but also surprisingly outpaced Portuguese megastar Cristiano Ronaldo in a different arena.
Yamal became a hot topic on social media during the Euro Cup. According to the latest statistics from Mundo Deportivo, Yamal topped the charts for the fastest growth in followers on his social accounts during the tournament. Specifically, at the start of the Euro Cup, Yamal had slightly over 7 million followers, but by the end of the event, he gained an additional 6.2 million followers, bringing his total to 13.2 million.
