[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🫤🫥 Lamine Yamal with his first World Cup Man of the Match Award ever.

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

10 - 18-year-old 🇪🇸 Lamine Yamal today became the youngest player on record since 1966 in a FIFA World Cup match to record both...

10+ touches in the opposition box (14)
10+ dribbles (10)

Playground.

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

12 - 🇪🇸 Lamine Yamal is averaging 12 dribbles per 90 minutes at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

That's the most by a player to play 200+ minutes in a tournament since 🇳🇬 Jay Jay Okocha in 1998 (also 12 per 90).

Tricksters.
