Game

A historic tournament for this lad.

So proud of him.

Messi tonight…. CANT WAIT

 

[Givenchy]

So happy for the kid. Before the tournament I was hopeful he'd get some experience and maybe grab a goal for that record (didn't have Spain as a contender) but to lead on assists, win young player of the tournament, score probably goal of the tournament and of course the actual trophy.. astounding.

European champion at 17 and 1 day

 

[L3v1s]

I hope he doesn't get the Gavi/Pedri treatment.

 

[soul24rage]

Incredible

 

[FCBfan22]

Our RW and LW if Laporta finds the money.

 

[FCBfan22]

BTW, first player in history with either a goal or assist in EURO quarter-final, semi-final and final.

At 17 years and 1 day.

Batshit insane torunament by a 16 years old. Got a scorer in every knockout tie. Better than Ronaldo's international (not qualifiers stat padding) career already.

Ronaldo is a massive failure at international level.

0 goals and 0 assists in every game Portugal have exited the tournament, in 10 of 11 tournaments (the other he was injured during and they won without him. Three international goals in 21 knockout games and 1 or 2 assists (and we know he offers nothing generally outside of the stats he obsesses over).

I have watched him in every tournament, and not only is his record appalling, but he's generally one of Portugal's worst players every game they exit. Like he was in most of his CL finals.

No goals in the world cup knockouts.

People have the audacity to call him a top international player for beating up on minnows in qualifiers. It's about what you do when you get there, qualifiers should be easy work (and even with him they've finished second to teams like Serbia and Bosnia in qualifiers)

Not so great when not surrounded by Real Madrid and Man United's playmakers serving him chances.

 

[El Ilusionista]

Generational.

 

[Maradona37]

Incredible

'But but but, Yamal plays for Spain! Don't you get that Portugal were no better than San Marino in Ronaldo's prime? Ronaldo had to do it all himself! (even though they won the Euros without him). Remember the Sweden game?'

- Imbecilic Ronaldo worshippers.

 

[FCBfan22]

Portugal would've lost that final if CR didn't get injured.

On the other hand, no way Spain wins this one without Lamine. He required a lot of focus from the English which made space for Nico. And assisted.

 

[Horatio]

Amazing tournament for him. At that age and already one of highlights of a tournament.

I've said that many times lol. They played more as a team when he got injured and didn't have to carry his laziness and playing the width of the box. He'd never done anything in any big knockout game before at int. level, after all.

And true on Yamal.
