Spanish coach Luis De La Fuente has made an important choice regarding his star player Lamine Yamal.
Lamine Yamal is the prodigy that everyone is waiting to see at Euro 2024. The FC Barcelona winger will have the opportunity to show his value in Spain’s first match. After retaining him in the group of 26, Luis De La Fuente put him in for the opposition against Croatia.
Lamine Yamal youngest player to play in the Euro
The young Blaugrana was placed on the left side of La Roja’s attack. He is associated at the forefront with Alvaro Morata and Nico Williams.
Having the confidence to be a starter, Yamal is certain of being able to break a record. At the age of 16, he became the youngest player to appear in a match in the final phase of the European Championship. The previous record was held by the Pole Kacper Kozłowski. During the last Euro, he played at the age of only 17 years and 246 days.

An attractive Spain on paper
Concerning the Spanish eleven, we note that Aymeric Laporte does not appear there. Unlike Maxime Le Normand, the former Manchester City player will start on the bench. It was Nacho, the captain of Real, who was preferred. Dani Carvajal also starts as a full-back, just like Cucurella.
As central leader, it is the young Pedri who is chosen. He will be supported by Rodri and the Parisian Fabian Ruiz. Dani Olmo is a substitute.
Spain’s XI against Croatia
Unai Simon; Carvajal, Nacho, Le Normand, Cucurella; F. Ruiz, Rodri, Pedri, Nico Williams, Yamal; Morata.
