Spain get their Euro 2024 campaign underway against Croatia on Saturday evening, and all eyes will be on Lamine Yamal.
The teenage prodigy is already a prominent figure for La Roja, having burst onto the scene with Barcelona last year.
And by being handed a start by manager Luis de la Fuente for Spain's Euro 2024 opener, the scintillating winger has made European Championship history.
Yamal's landmark moment
At the age of 16 years and 338 days, Lamine Yamal becomes not just the youngest player to start a Euros game – but the youngest player ever to feature at a European Championship finals outright.
He smashes the previous record held by Kacper Kozlowksi – who joined Jude Bellingham at Euro 2020 in becoming one of the first two 17-year-olds to play in the competition.
Yamal's major tournament debut knocks Jamal Musiala off the list of the five youngest Euros players of all time.
Born in Barcelona to an Equatorial Guinean mother and a Moroccan father, Yamal has scored twice in five caps for Spain so far.
