At the 2024 European Championship, young Spanish star Yamal, with his outstanding performance, not only won honors for himself but also left an indelible mark on football history.
Yamal recently shared two Guinness World Records certificates through social media, officially confirming the two historical records he created at the European Championship: becoming the youngest player ever to appear in the European Championship at the age of 16 years and 338 days, and becoming the youngest scorer in the European Championship at the age of 16 years and 362 days.
Yamal’s emergence broke tradition, as before this European Championship, all participating players were at least 17 years old. Not only this, Yamal also set records in several other aspects, including becoming the youngest assist provider in the European Championship, the youngest player to participate in a major tournament final, and the youngest European Championship winner at the age of 17 years and 1 day.
The football prodigy born in 2007, after enjoying a vacation in Milan, Italy, the Greek islands and Marbella, Spain with national team teammate Nico Williams, is gradually returning, ready to face the new season with Barcelona. As planned, Yamal, along with teammate Ferran Torres, underwent medical examinations at the club’s training center on August 5.
However, Yamal and Torres are not yet able to work directly with the team’s new head coach, Flick. Currently, the entire Barcelona team is on a tour in the United States, and is expected to return to Spain on August 9. Barca will play a friendly match against Monaco on August 12, but given that Yamal has just returned, Flick is unlikely to play him immediately.
