Spain and Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal has sent a brutal warning to either Luke Shaw or Kieran Trippier ahead of the Euro 2024 final encounter between England and Spain.
Yamal is expected to start when Spain face the Three Lions on Sunday, and he would most likely face one of Shaw or Trippier.
The teenager has been one of the standout performers for Luis de la Fuente’s side so far in the tournament, having broken records after records.
Sports Buddy recently reported that Yamal became the youngest scorer in the competition at 16 years, 362 days, breaking Johan Vonlanthen’s record (18 years, 141 days) by scoring his first goal at the European Championship against France in the semi-final,
He now hopes to achieve one more goal, which is becoming the youngest player to ever win a World Cup or European Championship.
Sports Buddy also revealed Yamal’s fantastical wish as he recently turned 17, ahead of final on Sunday.
Lamine Yamal’s message to England defenders
Speaking ahead of the final, the Barcelona winger, who looked, calm and confident, revealed his simple strategy going into games, one which either Shaw or Trippier needs to be wary of.
“The first move conditions the game a lot. If I go past them, it’s there for the match,” Yamal said, as quoted by The Sun.
He continued, “I always think that it’s the full back who has pressure. If I go past him, I’m touching the goal.
“I receive the ball, if I have a one-on-one, I always go for the full back because it’s a very psychological game and if I go for him, he is scared and then I can go for him more and I improvise.
“They have respect, the full backs don’t go into me much. They try to hold off.
“How am I treated? As a normal player. Opponents especially, I don’t think they will not foul me because I’m 16.”
