The Spanish national team is one of the strongest teams at the EUROS 2024 so far and is one of the favorites to win the whole tournament. This is due to their incredible team, which includes experienced and exciting young talents like FC Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal. The 16-year-old is crucial for Barcelona and is now crucial for the Spanish national team. Yamal started in the first two matches for Spain in this EUROS, but now he may have to see fewer minutes due to a crazy rule in Germany that the Spanish national team could be breaking. COPE and Sport Bild report that Spain is risking violating a German law due to Lamine Yamal's participation in matches. German regulations prohibit people under 18 from working past 20:00, but athletes can play until 23:00, including time for showering and media duties. If Yamal plays the full match against Albania next, it would be difficult to comply with the law, and Spain could have faced a fine.

Yamal played against Croatia in Spain's first match of the EUROS. He started the game and played 86 minutes of the match. The game started at 18:00 and ended at 20:00 at the Olympiastadion. In the match against Italy, Yamal started the match again, but this time, he played less as he featured in the game for 71 minutes.

The game against Italy started at 21:00 and ended at 23:00 at the Arena AufSchalke. It is the latest game finished in EUROS this summer, but now Spain is reportedly warned that Yamal cannot play the full 90 minutes for the rest of the tournament, starting in the next game against Albania. Yamal is a key player for Spain, as his pace and skills are effective against the opposition. He even grabbed an assist in Spain's 3-0 win against Croatia.
