Spain have arrived — Barca boy Lamine Yamal sends bold warning to Argentina, France, England & others
Lamine Yamal has made it clear that Spain are not here to admire the tournament; they are here to chase it. After scoring against Saudi Arabia, the 18-year-old delivered a confident warning to 2026 World Cup biggest names and backed it up with a place in World Cup history.
18 – Lamine Yamal is only the second player aged 18 or younger to open the scoring in a FIFA World Cup match – the other was a 17-year-old Pelé for Brazil v Wales in 1958.
