16-year-old footballer scores a fantastic goal against France in the Euro 2024 semifinals, making history. Video

Spain winger Lamine Yamal scored a phenomenal goal in the 2024 European Championship semifinals, making the score 1-1. Yamal became the youngest goal-scorer in the history of the Euros.

The Barcelona midfielder of Moroccan-Equatoroguinean descent managed to hit the net at the Allianz Arena in Munich at the age of 16. He will turn 17 on July 13.

In the 21st minute, Yamal outplayed Rabiot on the approach to the penalty area and fired a powerful 23-meter shot at Unai Simon's goal. The ball hit the post in an arc and then flew into the net.

It is worth noting that Yamal, who was included in the starting lineup of the Spanish national team for the game against France at Euro 2024, became the youngest player to ever participate in the semifinals of the European Championship or the World Cup.

He broke Pele's record set at the 1958 World Cup. On the day of the match against France, the Brazilian was 17 years and 244 days old.
