France were knocked out of Euro 2024 by a Spain aspect that was inspired by 16-year-old Lamine Yamal's know target
After the France goalkeeper's spectacular attempts at a pre-match brain activity disastrously failed in the Euro 2024 semi-final, Adrien Rabiot was given the instruction to bless 16-year-old Lamine Yamal for teaching him a sports training.
After falling 2-1 to a Spain area that had been inspired by a wonder goal from the Spanish girl, who curled the game house from 25 miles to equalize after Les Bleus had taken an early lead, event favorites France were dumped out of the competition.
Yamal's attack made a mockery of Rabiot's pre-match remarks, making him the youngest goalcorer in competition history.
The 29-year-old said:" It will be up to us to put the pressure on him first, not letting him feel comfortable, and to show him that to play in a Euro final, he will have to do much more than what he has already done so far,"
The 16-year-old's efficiency left the BBC's team of experts in paroxysms, with Rio Ferdinand immediately referencing Rabiot's feedback.
" If you have n't seen that message that Rabiot sent him before the game, I hope Rabiout, with respect, has gone up to him after the game and said thank you for that lesson you taught me today, that one moment", said the former Manchester United and England defender.
Micah Richards even weighed in. " Wow! I mean, 16 times of age", he said. " Rabiot was talking before the match, had he step up in the big times and it's the way he's really so relaxed in this place, to dig it out.
We all know he has a beautiful left foot, but there are so many other players around him, and having that calm and confidence to carry it on, shows you what a truly exceptional player he is.
Yamal's following competition will be the Euro 2024 last, which will take place the day after his 17th birthday. Spain's competitors will be either the Netherlands or England, and Ferdinand warned them to beware in Berlin.
" The question is, how do you prevent him? How do you cease that, that's the problem now for the winners.
" You go nearby and get tight, he can jink. You stand off him, he is pass. A winger is typically very fast and you move you, but he lacks the ability to pass.
