@Itsallblue10@Bd_irB_ll It doesnt matter how far back a play is if it directly is a result of a foul in the same phase of play. The rules cant be dismissed just because you feel like the game is being over refereed.
Lamine Yamal watched Kylian Mbappé provide two assists, then just eight minutes later, Mbappé watched Yamal score at the other end.
On July 9, 2024, France and Spain met in the UEFA Euro 2024 semi-finals in a match that showcased established star Kylian Mbappé against 16-year-old Lamine Yamal. France struck first when Mbappé set up Randal Kolo Muani for the opening goal, but Spain responded quickly. Yamal curled in a spectacular long-range effort to become the youngest goalscorer in UEFA European Championship history, before Dani Olmo completed the comeback to give Spain a 2-1 victory and a place in the final.
The match is widely remembered as Yamal’s breakout on the international stage. Although Mbappé provided France’s early assist, Yamal stole the spotlight with one of the tournament’s most memorable goals, displaying remarkable composure and confidence. Many viewed the occasion as a symbolic passing of the torch, with one of football’s biggest stars facing a teenager widely regarded as a future global icon. Spain went on to win Euro 2024, with Yamal playing a key role throughout the tournament and further cementing his reputation as one of the game’s brightest young talents.
