Spain
booked
their
spot
in
the
Euro
2024
final
after
a
thrilling
encounter
with
France.
The
young
guns
of
Spain,
particularly
16-year-old
wonderkid
Lamine
Yamal,
stole
the
show.
France
struck
first
through
Randal
Kolo
Muani,
but
Yamal’s
sensational
curler
from
outside
the
box
in
the
21st
minute
stole
the
French
thunder.
The
record-breaking
goal,
scored
at
just
16
years
and
362
days
old,
cemented
Yamal’s
place
in
European
Championship
history.
Spain
doubled
their
lead
shortly
after
when
a
Dani
Olmo
shot
was
deflected
in
by
Jules
Kounde.
While
France
fought
back
in
the
second
half,
with
Kylian
Mbappé
missing
a
key
chance,
Spain’s
defence
held
firm.
This
victory
extends
Spain’s
perfect
tournament
record
to
five
wins
and
a
staggering
13
goals
scored.
Youngsters
like
Yamal
and
Nico
Williams
have
been
instrumental
in
their
success.
Yamal,
already
a
record-breaker
at
club
level
for
Barcelona,
showcased
his
composure
and
talent
on
the
biggest
stage.
His
wonder
goal
is
a
sign
of
things
to
come
from
this
phenomenal
young
player.
Spain
now
await
the
winner
of
the
England
vs.
Netherlands
clash,
aiming
to
secure
their
fourth
European
Championship
title.
