EUROs: Spain Wonderkid Matches Ronaldo Record
Following his performance in the Round of 16, Spanish wonderkid Lamine Yamal has matched a UEFA European Championship record set by Cristiano Ronaldo.It seems as though the Barcelona teenager cannot stop making history.
In La Furia Roja’s opening match at the EUROs against Croatia, the La Masia alumni became the youngest ever player to provide an assist in the competition's history when Dani Carvajal connected to a cross from the youngster to make it 3-0. In their most recent tournament encounter against Georgia on Sunday night, the Esplugues de Llobregat native added to his legend as he bagged another assist at the continental showpiece to make it two assists overall at the tournament., Yamal is now only the second teenager in EUROs history, since Ronaldo did it in the 2004 edition, to accumulate multiple assists at the same tournament.
For all the chances he did create against Georgia, however, the teenage sensation is still yet to find the back of the net at these EUROs. He will have the opportunity to rectify that in the quarter-finals against host nation Germany, and should he score, he will become the youngest-ever goalscorer in the spectacle's history.For 14 free days, you can have access to the best from Soccer Laduma, KickOff, Daily Sun, TrueLove and Drum.
