Nineteen-year-old Lamine Yamal, the Spain and Barcelona sensation, has spoken about his experience winning the World Cup on July 19 in New Jersey. Yamal, who turned 19 the day before the World Cup semi-final, stated he felt no nerves during the final, saying, "I was enjoying it."
Yamal became the youngest player ever to win both a European Championship and a World Cup, achieving this at 19 years and six days old. He scored the winning goal in the World Cup final in the 106th minute, after Enzo Fernández was sent off in the third minute of second-half stoppage time, with the score at 0-0.
The young star believes he has been performing at a Ballon d'Or level for an extended period. He is Spain's candidate for the award and would be the youngest winner ever. Yamal expressed his determination, stating, "I just have to win, win, win, and there will be a time when there's no debate."
