This afternoon, Lamine Yamal’s name will be inscribed in the history of European football. At only 16 years, 11 months and 2 daysYamal will become the Youngest player to debut in a European Championship, breaking the record previously set by Polish midfielder Kacper Kozlowski, who debuted at 17 years and 246 days. This milestone not only puts him ahead of Kozlowski, but also the talented Englishman Jude Bellingham, who made his debut at 17 years and 349 days. In the Spanish context, Yamal will surpass Pedri, who debuted at 18 years and 201 days.
But Yamal’s records don’t stop there. If his ownership is also confirmed this afternoon, he will break another important record: that of being the Youngest player to start a Euro Cup match. Until now, this record was held by Dutch defender Jetro Willems, who started at the age of 18 years and 71 days.
As the tournament progresses, Yamal will have the opportunity to continue writing his name in the football history books. He could become the Youngest player to win a Euro Cup match, a record that currently belongs to Jude Bellingham, who achieved it at 17 years and 349 days. Furthermore, Yamal has another significant record in its sights: that of youngest player to score a goal in the competition. This honor currently falls to Johan Vonlanthen, who scored at the age of 18 years and 141 days. Within the scope of the Spanish team, if Yamal manages to score, he will surpass Cesc Fàbregas, who became Spain’s youngest scorer in a European Championship in 2008, at 21 years and 37 days old.
In addition to these individual marks, Lamine Yamal could leave an indelible mark on the Euro. She will turn 17 on July 13, one day before the final to be played at the Berlin Olympics. If Spain reaches that stage and Yamal participates, not only will she have made history with her debut, but she will also have witnessed the most crucial moments of the tournament.
