Spain flew into the final of Euro 2024, as it was Lamine Yamal who scored the first goal for his team in this semi-final.
But the goal not only for the importance it had in that match, but also broke the record as the youngest scorer ever in the history of the European and World Cups at only 16 years and 362 days of life, thus taking the record from Pele.
A fate, that of Yamal, which is also intertwined with the story of Leo Messi. The young Spanish striker was actually "baptized" by the football legend in 2007. Like last year, the Spanish newspaper "Sport" decided to make a charity calendar in collaboration with UNICEF, sponsor of Laporta's Barcelona at that time.
Therefore, a recruitment campaign was organized among the families that had come into contact with the international organization for welfare issues, and among them was that of Yamali, who lived in Rocafonda.
