In a historic moment at the men's European Championship, Lamine Yamal, at the tender age of 16 years and 362 days, etched his name into the record books by becoming the youngest player ever to score in the tournament. The Barcelona teenager's remarkable feat came during Spain's semifinal match against France.

Yamal's goal came in the 21st minute, as he expertly curled a breathtaking finish into the top left corner of the net, leaving France goalkeeper Mike Maignan with no chance of making a save. The ball found its way into the back of the net off the inside of the post, sending shockwaves across the stadium.

This historic achievement saw Yamal surpass the previous record set by Swiss player Johan Vonlanthen at Euro 2004, who scored at the age of 18 years and 141 days, also against France. The Barcelona wonderkid had already grabbed the spotlight earlier in the tournament when he became the youngest player to feature at a Euro, at the age of 16 years and 338 days, in Spain's Group B victory over Croatia.

Spain coach Luis de la Fuente praised Yamal's remarkable performance, stating, "He just keeps on breaking records. He's growing, maturing, and getting better every day. He's on the path to be a great player, but he's very young, and we have to be patient with him."

The first half of the match ended with the score at 2-1. Yamal's goal canceled out Randal Kolo Muani's opener for France. However, Spain took the lead four minutes after Yamal's goal as France defender Jules Koundé inadvertently turned the ball into his own net.

Yamal's incredible talents at such a young age have sparked excitement in the footballing world, with many heralding him as a player with immense potential. As he continues to make history and develop his skills, the football community eagerly awaits what the future holds for this young prodigy.
