Lamine Yamal Has Already Surpassed Pelé!
Lamine Yamal's EURO performance is being historic for many reasons. Not only is he currently the top assist provider of the tournament with a total of 4 assists, but he also forms one of the deadliest duos of the competition along with Nico Williams. However, the young prodigy has surpassed Pelé.
At 16 years and 362 days old, Lamine Yamal has become the youngest player to play in a semifinal of a World Cup or a EURO, thus breaking the record set by the football legend Pelé, who did so at 17 years and 244 days. And it is quite a coincidence that Pelé set this record against France, the same team against which the Spaniard will also set the record.
Today, Barcelona's jewel is confirming what he already hinted at with Barcelona: an incredible reality that has the world's eyes fixed on him. Will he be able to handle the pressure of carrying the hopes of a nation?
