Lamine Yamal Shines as Spain Beat France 5-4

Lamine Yamal showcased his class as Spain defeated France with a 5-4 scoreline in a thrilling UEFA Nations League semifinal.

The 17-year-old Barcelona wonderkid, who is competing with Ousmane Dembele for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, impressed by scoring two consecutive goals in the 54th and 57th minutes.

A stark contrast was evident between the two right wingers — Yamal shone brightly while Dembele was substituted in the 70th minute without making a meaningful impact.

This dramatic victory sends La Furia Roja to the UEFA Nations League final, where they will face Cristiano Ronaldo’s team.
