Former England goalkeeper Joe Hart did not hide his admiration for the young player's performance.

On BBC Sport, Hart highlighted Yamal's composure under pressure and his ability to remain calm despite the rough tactics of the Argentine defenders.

Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente also highly praised his player's contribution to the team effort. According to the coach, Yamal matured during this tournament and proved his willingness to sacrifice individual ambitions for the team's benefit. Although there were concerns about a knee injury before the tournament, he played in almost every match.

According to statistics, Lamine Yamal has won all 13 matches he started in major tournaments (Euro and World Cup). This is the longest perfect streak in European football history. At 19 years and 6 days old, he became the youngest player in history to hold both continental and world titles.

Victory and future prospects

A goal by Ferran Torres in the 106th minute of the final led Spain to the top of the world once again. Although the "Best Young Player" award of the tournament went to his teammate Pau Cubarsi, Yamal's impact on the pitch and his tactical discipline are highly valued by experts.
