In the Spain vs France match in the semifinals of the EUROS 2024, history was made in the first half as Lamine Yamal scored an incredible from outside the box and became the the youngest goalscorer in UEFA EURO history. Yamal's goal was the equalizer for Spain after trailing 1-0 in the 9th minute due to a France goal by Kolo Muani. Yamal scored in the 21st minute of the match, which was the perfect response for Spain to get back into the game and turn things around. Some fans noticed that the goal came after criticism from a French player ahead of the match. Adrien Rabiot was asked about Lamine Yamal ahead of the semifinal encounter between France and Spain and left a message that seemed like a shot. Rabiot said, "Obviously, it could be difficult for him to deal with a semifinal in a big tournament. And to reach a final at the Euros, he needs to do more than he's done up until now." Now, he responded with a great goal that led to Spain leading against them in the semifinal.

It seems that Yamal answered Rabiot's comments on his social media as he posted a message that suggested that he would talk on the pitch to prove the French player wrong. On Yamal's Instagram, the player posted a message that said, "Move in silence, only speak when it's time to say checkmate." Yamal scored from outside the box, and Rabiot was defending against him during the play.

Before the goal he scored, he was the player in the EUROS who created the most chances, with five. The 16-year-old also provided two assists in the tournament before the goal and is among the best players there. Yamal is exciting many football fans and is indeed the future of FC Barcelona and Spain.
