๐จ Reporter Thierry Henry asks Lamine Yamal which country he will be supporting to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup apart from Spain:
๐๏ธ Thierry Henry:
โLamine, if Spain donโt win the World Cup, which country would you like to see become champions?โ
๐ฃ๏ธ Lamine Yamal:
โFirst of all, I hope Spain wins it.
That is my country and my dream.
But if Spain cannot do it, I would probably support PORTUGAL ๐ต๐น.โ
๐๏ธ Thierry Henry:
โWhy Portugal?โ
๐ฃ๏ธ Lamine Yamal:
โThey have an incredible team with quality in every position.
They have experience, young talent and players who know how to handle the pressure of big tournaments.
For many years they have been among the strongest teams in world football.โ
๐๏ธ Thierry Henry:
โIs Cristiano Ronaldo part of the reason?โ
๐ฃ๏ธ Lamine Yamal::
โOf course.
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players to ever play the game and I have a lot of respect for him.
Every young footballer has learned something from watching him including MESSI.
His mentality, discipline and desire to keep improving are unbelievable.
Even now he continues to inspire players around the world.
I think it would be special to see him win the FIFA World Cup. He has achieved almost everything in football and that would be the perfect ending to an incredible career.โ
๐๏ธ Thierry Henry:
โSo PORTUGAL ๐ต๐น would be your choice?โ
๐ฃ๏ธ Lamine Yamal:
โYes. Spain first, always.
But if not Spain, then I would love to see PORTUGAL ๐ต๐น and CRISTIANO RONALDO lift the 2026 FIFA World Cup.โ
