Lamine Yamal, a 16-year-old Spanish player, made history by scoring a stunning goal in the Euro 2024 semi-final against France, becoming the youngest scorer in men’s European Championship history.
His incredible strike from outside the penalty area equalized the match, canceling out Randal Kolo Muani’s early opener.
Dani Olmo’s subsequent goal gave Spain the lead, and despite France’s efforts, Spain held on to win and reach their first men’s final since 2012.
France’s attack, led by Kylian Mbappe, struggled to break through Spain’s defense, and Mbappe’s late chance went over the bar.
Spain’s captain and manager Didier Deschamps’ tactical changes couldn’t force a late equalizer, securing Spain’s place in the final.
Spain will face either England or the Netherlands in the final on Sunday in Berlin, as they aim to win their first major tournament since Euro 2012.
England, led by Gareth Southgate, will face the Netherlands in the second semi-final, seeking to reach consecutive Euro finals after their defeat to Italy in 2019.
