📊 Lamine opens scoring and makes World Cup history for Spain

Lamine Yamal has become the first scorer for the Spanish national team at the 2026 World Cup, continuing a tradition that in recent tournaments fell to names such as Raúl, Xabi Alonso, Villa, Diego Costa, and Dani Olmo.

Only Gavi, at 18 years and 110 days in Qatar 2022, ranks above him on that list. Both came through La Masia.

The goal reinforces Yamal’s role as the attacking leader of a national team arriving at the tournament as one of the main contenders. His status as a game-changing player is no longer up for debate: at this age, others were still finishing high school.
