Euro 2024: Lamine Yamal equals Cristiano Ronaldo’s European record
The 16-year-old is the first teenager to watch a major competition twice since Portugal… 20 years ago
After having assisted on his debut in the final stages of a major competition, in the 3-0 victory over Croatia , Lamine Yamal provided another goal, this time in the triumph over Georgia in the round of 16 of Euro 2024, and again to… Fabián Ruiz .
With two assists, the 16-year-old equals Cristiano Ronaldo ‘s record , becoming the first teenager to assist twice in a single edition of a major tournament’s finals… something that hasn’t happened since the Portuguese, 20 years ago, at Euro 2004.
The (now) captain of the Portuguese national team assisted Rui Costa in the victory over Russia (2-0), in the second round of the group stage, and also Maniche in the triumph over the Netherlands (2-1), in the semi-finals.
No one has more assists than the Barcelona winger , and he holds two records: the youngest player to make his debut and the youngest assist in a European Championship… all he needs is the goal.
