<p>Back in 2007,<strong> </strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Lamine</strong> <strong>Yamal</strong></a>‘s family lucked out—they scored a chance for their six-month-old baby to star in a photoshoot with a Barcelona player. The shoot was for a charity calendar, and guess who the lucky player was? None other than a young 20-year-old <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a></strong>, just starting to make waves in his Barcelona career.</p>



<p>Fast forward to 2024, and it’s Yamal who is making major waves now at only 16 years of age, playing for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/spain" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spain</a> in the Euros. Lamine Yamal has scored 1 goal and provided 3 assists in 6 matches in the competition. At the senior level, he has played 51 games for Barcelona, scoring 7 goals and providing 11 assists.</p>



<p>To say he is not a gem in the making is an understatement. Now, the GOAT and the future may face each other in a competition that holds a lot of bragging rights.</p>



<h2>Lionel Messi Could Face Lamine Yamal in an Argentina vs Spain Match</h2>

<p>If Messi is still a part of the Argentine national team and wins the Copa America, and if Yamal is with Spain and they win the 2024 Euros, the two players could meet in the Finalissima, which <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Argentina</a> has won outright.</p>

<p>All eyes were on Kylian Mbappe, <strong>but it was Lamine Yamal who took all the limelight</strong> in the <strong>UEFA Euro 2024</strong> semifinal by leading <strong>Spain</strong>‘s comeback win against <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/france">France</a></strong>. And the youngster had something to say to <strong>Adrien Rabiot</strong>.</p>



<p>The French midfielder raised eyebrows in his press conference ahead of the match by downplaying what <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Yamal</a> had shown so far: <em><strong>“If Lamine Yamal wants to play in the Euro 2024 final with Spain, he will have to do much more against us than he has done so far.”</strong></em></p>



<p>Those comments eventually backfired, as they only served as bulletin board material for the Spanish sensation. <em><strong>“Speak now, speak now!,”</strong></em> said Yamal to the cameras as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/spain">Spain</a> celebrated the 2-1 win in Munich. Later, he told Miguel Angel Diaz of <em>COPE: “<strong>Rabiot’s words? There’s no need to give importance to that.”</strong></em></p>



<p>Shortly before the Euro 2024 semifinal, Yamal had already sent a subtle reply to Rabiot, posting the following picture on Instagram stories.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="520" height="836" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240709_BUS_143137_image-8_18a3bdfe.webp&amp;width=520&amp;height=836" alt="" class="wp-image-143165" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/image-8.png 520w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/image-8-187x300.png 187w" sizes="(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px"></figure></figure>



<h2>Yamal proves Rabiot wrong by helping Spain beat France in Euro 2024 semis</h2>



<p><strong>Despite being only 16</strong>, the FC Barcelona prodigy proved to have plenty of character and maturity for his age. Only 21 minutes into the game, with Spain trailing 1-0 as Mbappe provided a great assist for Randal Kolo Muani earlier in the match, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/uefa-euro/video-spain-prodigy-lamine-yamal-scores-fantastic-goal-against-france-in-euro-2024">Yamal fired home a fantastic goal to make things level against France</a>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="742" height="605" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240709_BUS_143137_image-7_d09c9a8a.webp&amp;width=742&amp;height=605" alt="" class="wp-image-143146" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/image-7.png 742w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/image-7-300x245.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 742px) 100vw, 742px"></figure></figure>



<p>That goal immediately lifted Luis de la Fuente’s men, who <strong>took the lead only four minutes later</strong> with Dani Olmo turning things around. Spain held on to their lead, and eventually gained the upper hand. Even though he’s just a kid, Yamal <strong>has already proven one of his doubters wrong.</strong></p>

<h2>Yamal to turn 17 a day before the Euro 2024 final with Spain</h2>



<p>Yamal’s upcoming birthday will be definitely special for the promising midfielder, who <strong>will turn 17 on Saturday</strong>, just a day before the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/uefa-euro">UEFA Euro 2024</a> final, where Spain will play England or the Netherlands in Berlin.</p>



<p>Having broken countless records both with Barcelona and the Spanish national team, Yamal is <strong>making a name for himself very early in his career</strong>, emerging as the face of a new generation of stars set to take center stage in the years to come.</p>

<p><strong>Lamine Yamal</strong> is only 16, but he looks like the real deal. With <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/spain">Spain</a></strong> trailing 1-0 to <strong>France</strong> early in the <strong>UEFA Euro 2024</strong> semifinals, the FC Barcelona youngster <strong>came up with a moment of magic</strong> to make things level in Munich.</p>



<p>Only 21 minutes into the match, and with <em>La Furia</em> losing as Kylian Mbappe delivered a perfect assist to Randal Kolo Muani, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Yamal</a> <strong>decided to try from long range and found the net in fantastic fashion</strong>.</p>



<p>Of course, this goal makes Yamal the <strong>youngest player ever to score in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/uefa-euro">European Championship</a> history</strong>. The teenager has already broken countless records both at Barcelona and with the national team, but he’s just getting started.</p>

<h2>Yamal’s equalizer propels Spain’s comeback win over France</h2>



<p>Not only did Yamal put the Spanish national team <strong>back in the game</strong> with that impressive rocket, but he also <strong>propelled his side to turn things around</strong> only a few minutes later.</p>



<p>Just four minutes after Yamal’s beautiful goal, Dani Olmo finished off an outstanding play to give Spain the lead against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/france">France</a>. Needless to say, Yamal’s goal gave Luis de la Fuente’s men momentum to completely change the outlook of this Euro 2024 semifinal.</p>

<h2>Spain advance to Euro 2024 final</h2>



<p>Inspired by Yamal’s fantastic goal and thanks to Dani Olmo’s winner, Spain claimed a come-from-behind victory over France <strong>to reach the UEFA Euro 2024 final in Germany.</strong></p>



<p>On Sunday, July 14, at 3:00 PM (ET) the three-time Europan Championship winners will take <strong>on England or the Netherlands</strong> in the grand final at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Lamine Yamal</a></strong> is not only one of the brightest prospects <strong>Spain</strong> has seen in a long time, but also a pivotal player for Luis de la Fuente’s side at the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/uefa-euro">UEFA Euro 2024</a></strong>. However, it looks like he could <strong>cost the team a fine by playing against Albania on Monday.</strong></p>



<p>How’s that? Well, let’s take a look. German regulations prohibit people aged under 18 from working past 8:00 PM, while in the case of athletes the authorization <strong>extends to 11:00 PM</strong>. </p>



<p>But since Spain and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/albania">Albania</a> will play at<strong> 9:00 PM</strong>, the Spanish FA could end up violating the law if Yamal plays. That’s because <strong>the law considers the time for showering and media duties as working hours</strong> both for Germans and foreigners. </p>



<p>According to German outlet <em>Bild</em>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/spain">Spain</a> are not at risk of suffering sporting punishment. But Stephan Graf, a legal expert at the University of Konstanz, claims the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) <strong>could be fined nearly €30,000</strong>.</p>

<p>Yamal started in Spain’s two group stage wins so far, so chances are he remains in the starting eleven to face Albania. In the event that happens, we’ll have to wait and see whether Spain find a way to avoid the violation of the law, and therefore the fine.</p>

<h2>Lamine Yamal, a generational talent inspiring Spain</h2>







<p>Born on July 13, 2007, Yamal <strong>has drawn everyone’s attention since making his debut for Barcelona on April 29, 2023</strong>. At 15 years, 9 months and 16 days, he became the youngest debutant in club history and went on to break even more records.</p>



<p>Lamine immediately became a key player for Xavi Hernandez and it didn’t take him long to get called up to the Spanish national team. With two goals in nine caps, the 16-year-old is <strong>already giving the country reasons for optimism</strong>.</p>

UEFA Euro 2024: Spain could be fined if Lamine Yamal plays against Albania


<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/robert-lewandowski">Robert Lewandowski</a></strong> appeared to ignore <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Lamine Yamal</a></strong> when the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a></strong> youngster tried to shake hands with the striker during the 2-1 win over Alaves on Sunday. The clip <strong>immediately went viral</strong>, with many questioning Lewy’s attitude.</p>



<p>The situation happened after Yamal decided to make a play on his own rather than pass the ball to Lewandowski, who was waiting on the box. In a press conference with the Pole national team, the 35-year-old <strong>set the record straight</strong>.</p>



<p>“<em><strong>Honestly, there is not comment on it, because it was just an incident.</strong> So when it comes to my relationship with him, I have helped him several times and gave him advice, even in this game,</em>” Lewandowski said, via Pole journalist Błażej Łukaszewski.</p>



<p>While the clip gave a lot to talk about, Barca fans on social media have also shown how Lewandowski then talked to Yamal after scoring his comeback goal, proving they only had an incident before. According to <em>Sport</em>, the pair <strong>worked things out in the locker room and were surprised by how the media reacted</strong> to the situation.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="666" height="733" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231113_BUS_84861_image-4.webp&amp;width=666&amp;height=733" alt="" class="wp-image-84872" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/image-4.png 666w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/image-4-273x300.png 273w" sizes="(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px"></figure></figure>



<p>“<em><strong>It’s normal to say or shout something on the pitch,</strong></em>” Lewandowski added. <em><strong>“The entire situation is an incident out of context, and has no meaning. It happens.”</strong></em></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231103#BUS#82906"></div>


<h2>Lewandowski helps Barcelona get a much-needed win</h2>



<p>While his viral moment with Yamal was one of the biggest storylines of the game, Lewandowski should’ve made more headlines for helping Barca turn things around. Samuel Omorodion put Alaves in front in the first minute, forcing the hosts to <strong>run from behind for much of the game</strong>.</p>



<p>It wasn’t until the 53rd minute that Lewandowski put things level, before he gave his side the lead from the penalty spot after 78 minutes. <strong>Thanks to his brace</strong>, Xavi Hernandez’s men claimed all three points to keep themselves within touching distance of Girona.</p>



<p>Barca are currently <strong>third in the LaLiga standings with 30 points</strong>, four shy of the surprising leaders. They’re also two points shy of Real Madrid, who emerged victorious in the Spanish Clasico a few weeks ago.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="655278b8f2b571abd7e484c0" data-title="Will Barcelona finish top of LaLiga?" data-options="2"></div>


<h2>What’s next for Barcelona</h2>



<p>With the international break taking center stage, Barcelona won’t play until <strong>Saturday, November 25</strong>, when they visit Rayo Vallecano on Matchday 14 of LaLiga. From then on, Xavi’s side will enter a <strong>stretch of crucial fixtures</strong>.</p>



<p>On Nov. 28, they will host Porto in a crucial UEFA Champions League game. On Sunday, December 3, Barca will take on Atletico Madrid. The following week, they will come up against Girona with their league aspirations at stake. Three days later, they close the Champions League group stage against Antwerp.</p>


Robert Lewandowski sets record straight over handshake snub to Lamine Yamal

Robert Lewandowski sets record straight over handshake snub to Lamine Yamal - Bolavip US


<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> won the Ballon d’Or for the eighth time in 2023, following a memorable World Cup win with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina">Argentina</a> in December. At 36, the Inter Miami star knows <strong>this may have been the last time</strong> he receives the award. From now on, he <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messis-message-to-mbappe-haaland-after-winning-2023-ballon-dor-20231030-BUS-81894.html">expects the likes of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe</a> to win it. But he also <strong>sees Lamine Yamal as a potential candidate</strong> in the future.</p>



<p><em>“There may be a very beautiful rivalry in the coming years with players like Haaland, Mbappe, Vinicius and many young players competing for the Ballon d’Or. <strong>I also think that Lamine Yamal, who is still very young and now plays for Barcelona, ​​will play a prominent role and fight for it in the future too</strong>. There will certainly be others competing for it, new players that we do not know will appear, because there are always new players. And I think it will be a very beautiful era to enjoy,” </em>Messi told <em>L’Equipe</em>.</p>



<p>Leo feels that this has probably been his last Ballon d’Or. Not only because he left Europe and Father Time will eventually catch up to him. But also because there’s <strong>a younger generation of players</strong> starting to make a case for themselves. </p>



<p>Haaland, for instance, was a strong candidate this year too. The Norwegian sensation scored an impressive 52 goals last season, helping Manchester City secure the treble (Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup). Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius may also be next on the list. But Leo is looking ahead in time as he <strong>sees Yamal’s progress at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> as a promising sign</strong>.</p>

<h2>Lamine Yamal’s breakthrough at Barcelona</h2>



<p>Since Messi’s bond with Barcelona is unbreakable, he continues to follow the club. That’s why Yamal’s evolution hasn’t gone unnoticed. The La Masia product made his senior debut last season, becoming <strong>the youngest player to see first-team action in club history at 15.</strong></p>

<p>The right winger continued to get playing time this season, becoming the youngest starter in LaLiga history at 16 years and 38 days old. On top of that, Lamine was <strong>called up to the senior Spanish national team</strong>. Of course, he also broke records at the international level, becoming the youngest player to score and play for Spain at 16 years and 57 days old.</p>



<p>Xavi Hernandez is still taking things slowly with Yamal, who is just taking his first steps as a professional player. Barca handed him his first contract in the summer, tying the winger down to a three-year deal. According to <em>Transfermarkt</em>, his market value is <strong>€50 million</strong>.</p>



<h2>Barcelona looking to find the next Messi</h2>



<p>While it may be too soon to compare the kid to Messi, many people in Barcelona already started to draw parallels between them. However, it’s always better to be careful about these comparisons. <strong>Ansu Fati</strong> was also seen as Messi’s potential successor until injuries stood in his way.</p>

<p>But it seems that this is something inevitable. Barcelona have never seen something like Messi before, and it’s hard to accept that he’s gone. At 36, the Rosario-born star is under contract with Inter Miami <strong>through 2025</strong>. </p>



<p>Never say never, but it’s hard to imagine him playing at Camp Nou again. The board had the opportunity to make that happen this year, <strong>but they blew it</strong>. Messi will return for a tribute, and he may even return in another role. But since his playing career at Barca may have ended, the club <strong>will constantly be on the lookout</strong> for the “new Messi.”</p>
