Jude Bellingham scored a super goal that was not only beautiful but also very valuable against Slovakia in the 1/8 round. However, the English midfielder was not awarded the best goal award at EURO 2024.
Not only that, it was also very valuable because it helped the England team escape in the 5th minute of injury time. And then, the Three Lions won in extra time, winning a ticket to the quarterfinals.
However, according to UEFA voting results, Jude Bellingham’s goal only finished second. The person honored was young talent Lamine Yamal with a classy curler against the French team in the semi-finals.
This is also Yamal’s only goal in EURO 2024. This goal brought the young Spanish talent into history as the youngest player to score on the EURO playground (16 years and 362 days).
Yamal’s valuable goal helped Spain equalize 1-1. And not long after, Dani Olmo scored the second goal, helping La Roja complete the comeback.
Thus, at EURO 2024, Lamine Yamal won two awards: Best Young Player and Best Goal. In addition, Barca’s young talent was also included in the best team of the tournament voted by UEFA.
The EURO 2024 Best Goal Award is decided by the votes of a technical panel including many famous coaches such as Fabio Capello, Michael O’Neill, David Moyes, Rafa Benitez, Avram Grant, Frank De Boer, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
