In a stunning display of skill and talent, 16-year-old Lamine Yamal made history by becoming the youngest player ever to score at the European Championship. His remarkable goal helped Spain secure a crucial 2-1 victory over France in the semifinals of the tournament.

Yamal's incredible strike came in the 21st minute of the match, as he expertly curled the ball from around 25 yards into the top left corner of the net, leaving French goalkeeper Mike Maignan with no chance. This goal not only showcased his exceptional ability but also cemented his place in the record books.

With this achievement, Yamal surpassed the previous record held by Swiss player Johan Vonlanthen, who had scored at the age of 18 years and 141 days during Euro 2004. Yamal, at the age of 16 years and 362 days, broke this longstanding record and etched his name in European Championship history.

Despite his young age, Yamal has already made waves in the world of football. He has previously set records as the youngest player to debut and score in the Spanish league at the tender age of 15. Additionally, he holds the title of the youngest player to start in the prestigious Champions League and the youngest to score for the Spanish national team.

Yamal's goal on Tuesday was crucial in Spain's comeback against France. After Randal Kolo Muani opened the scoring for France, Yamal scored the equalizer, and four minutes later, Dani Olmo's shot resulted in an own goal by France defender Jules Koundé. The match ended 2-1 in favor of Spain, securing their place in the final against either England or the Netherlands.

Speaking about his historic achievement, Yamal expressed his desire to continue winning and helping his team. He mentioned that celebrating his birthday in Germany with his teammates would be the ultimate gift. Despite his extraordinary feat, Yamal remained humble, stating that he simply aimed to enjoy himself and contribute to the team's success.

Yamal's outstanding performance has captured the attention of football enthusiasts worldwide. With his talent and determination, he has proven that age is just a number when it comes to making an impact on the grand stage of international football. As the European Championship final approaches, all eyes will be on Yamal as he aims to lead Spain to glory and add more records to his already impressive resume.
