FC Barcelona youngsters have typically always had the quality and ability to impress despite their unassuming young ages, and Lamine Yamal is the cream of the crop in such a case.
In the most recent of outings that the 15-year-old partook in, he was included in the Spain squad set to face France in their Under-17s European Championship semi-final, with the winner set to face the victor of the other semi-final between Poland and Germany, which ultimately the latter would come out victorious from.
Having already scored 3 goals in 4 games prior to this match, Lamine Yamal was understandably a target for France to keep at bay. Yet, despite their best efforts at doing so, the Spaniard would break the deadlock in the 69th minute courtesy of an absolute screamer of a goal.
The winger would cut in onto his left from the far right flank of the field as he typically tends to, then would invert even deeper, and rather than pass the ball into a safer position or lob a cross inside the box, Lamine Yamal would go straight for the jugular with a long-range effort that would then find its way into the far top left corner, resulting in a goal of magnificent quality as highlighted by Diario AS.
Even though Spain would then go on to concede 3 at the hands of France and lose the game with a score of 3-1, Lamine Yamal will return to Barcelona with his head held high, as his 4 goals in 5 games set a reminder to any and all who follow him around the world, this youngster from Barcelona is indeed the real deal.
Having made his first team debut under Xavi Hernandez this season at an atrociously young age already, if the youngster continues this trajectory that he’s on, there is no denying the new heights and achievements he could well be on his way to accomplishing.
