The young Barcelona boy was one of the stars of the win over Italy
King Felipe VI, King of Spain, was keen to be present in his country’s national team’s locker room to congratulate the players after their victory over Italy in the European Nations Cup (Euro 2024).
The Spanish national team defeated its Italian counterpart, with an unanswered goal scored by Azzurri defender Ricardo Calafiore by mistake, yesterday, Thursday, in the second round of Group B in “Euro 2024”. Currently located in Germany.
The Spanish Federation published a video clip of the visit of King Felipe VI, who was present in the team’s locker room and congratulated technical director Luis de la Fuente and shook hands with all the players.
King Felipe VI appeared shaking hands with the young boy, Lamine Yamal, and then asked him: “Lamine, how old are you!” When the Barcelona player answered that he was still 16 years old, the king put his hand on his face and seemed surprised by this answer, given the amount of talent he possesses, which is not known. Suitable for his young age.
Yamal was one of the stars of the Italy match, as he participated with his teammate Neco Williams, the left winger of Spain, in launching fierce attacks on the Azzurri goal. Had it not been for the skill of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, the match would have ended with a big score in favor of the “La Roja” team.
Spain leads the Group Two standings with 6 points after defeating Croatia and Italy, which occupies the runner-up seat with only 3 points.
