Spain is playing in the EURO final against England at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany. It is Spain's first final in a major international tournament since 2012. The Spanish team is one of the best teams in the tournament, and three Spanish football legends appeared at the stadium to watch and support the team. Xavi Hernández, David Villa, and Andrés Iniesta are present at the stadium to watch Spain play in another European Championship final after more than 12 years. Xavi, Villa, and Iniesta won the 2010 World Cup with Spain, which was the country's first World title in its history. The three legends were seen on camera and in the stands by the football fans, which to some seems to put lots of pressure on the young players in the national team ahead of the biggest game for them in their careers. The three players are part of the most successful Spanish national team of all time since they won two European Championships and the World Cup in a span of six years.
Lamine Yamal knows Xavi very well since he was his coach at FC Barcelona this past season. The Spanish legend believed a lot in Yamal, and the youngster made his professional debut for FC Barcelona at 15 years old in 2023. Ahead of the final, Yamal spoke highly of Xavi and said, "I think the coach who has had the most impact on me is Xavi. He was the one who gave me my debut, and gave me confidence by giving me minutes."
Yamal made history in the EURO 2024 final as he became the youngest male footballer to play in a major international tournament final. He just turned 17 yesterday and is set to make more history with Spain in the future, with the World Cup two years away.
As mentioned, Yamal, who is 17 years and one day old, became the youngest player to play in a major international tournament. He surpassed Pele, who was 17 years and 249 days at the 1958 World Cup. The Brazilian icon started his career very young as well and won three World Cups with Brazil.
