The Barca star has surpassed the previous record held by “King of Football” Pele. The late legend set the record at the age of 17 years and 249 days after appearing for Brazil at the 1958 World Cup, almost 7 decades ago.
However, in the first 45 minutes against England, Yamal played quite lacklusterly and did not leave much of an impression. Part of the reason is that Luke Shaw played so well on the left wing when the 29-year-old defender read the situation and very well intercepted Yamal’s dribble attempts.
However, at the beginning of the second half, Yamal immediately spoke up with a dribble and assisted Nico Williams with a one-touch shot with his left foot at a dangerous angle in the penalty area to open the score for Spain. Yamal – Williams wings are really helping La Roja fly high.
