Lamine Yamal is set for the biggest game of his rising career in the Euro 2024 final this weekend.
Spain take on England in Berlin on July 14 aiming to win a first European title since 2012,
Lamine Yamal will turn 17 the day before the final as part of a whirlwind summer for the Barcelona winger.

Ahead of the final, his family are waiting nervously on the outcome, with his father flying to Germany to watch his son in the crunch game.
Mounir Nasraoui was interviewed before making the trip to Berlin and he highlighted the key factor maintaining his son’s rise.
“He’s a blessing from God and we must be grateful. He’s not the only hope for Spain though, it’s the whole team” as per quotes from Marca.
