Today, Spanish prodigy Yamal celebrates his 17th birthday.
The past season has been a dream for the 16-year-old Yamal. Not only did he become a regular starter for Barcelona and make his debut in the Champions League, but he also earned a spot on the Spanish national team due to his outstanding performance.
In this European Cup, Yamal has been the most surprising player. So far, he has made six appearances, scoring one goal and providing three assists. Simultaneously, he became the youngest player in the history of the European Cup to score a goal and provide an assist. His stunning goal in the semi-finals helped Spain successfully eliminate France and advance to the finals.
In two days, Yamal will play his first match at age 17, facing England in the final of the European Cup. Whether he can lead Spain to victory and lift the trophy remains to be seen. Let’s wait and see.
