Euro 2024: Lamine Yamal wins best young player award
Spain’s teenage phenom Lamine Yamal won the European Championship and the tournament’s best young player award just a day after he turned 17. Yamal earned it mostly while he was still 16, but he crowned his contribution to Spain’s success by setting up Nico Williams’ opening goal in a 2-1 win over England in the final on Sunday. Yamal became the youngest player to appear at the European Championship, the youngest to score in the tournament, and the youngest to play in a final.
