France gives Yamal a chance to fulfill his great promise

“France is not better than Spain”. This was the phrase that Lamine Yamal uttered at the beginning of the month, and next Tuesday he will have the opportunity to prove its truth for the third time in his career.

Yamal is used to being the hero in confrontations against France, as was the case in the semi-final of Euro 2024, whether on the pitch or during the exchange of statements before the match.

The paper reviewed “Mundo Deportivo:“Report on Yamal’s confrontation with the Roosters as the footballer’s relationship with France begins in 2023 during the European Under-17 Championship.

The Barcelona winger, who developed his generation in that tournament, scored a goal in the 69th minute, almost identical to the one he scored a year later in the European Championship, after starting on the right, cutting inside and then firing a powerful ball towards the far post that beat the goalkeeper.

Spain lost 1-3 to France in the European Under-17 Championship, and won 2-1 in the semi-finals of Euro-2024. The team that opened the scoring both times was eliminated from the tournament in the semi-finals.
