FC Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal revealed the strike that remains, to this day, the most memorable of his young career. An early breakout under Xavi, the Spanish international continues a meteoric rise, confirmed by his second place in the 2025 Ballon d’Or behind Ousmane Dembélé.
At just 18, Yamal has already won the Kopa Trophy twice, awarded to the world’s best player under 21. Asked about the goal that affected him most, the Barcelona player did not hesitate: his brilliant goal against France in the Euro 2024 semi-final.
That night, strikes from Yamal and Dani Olmo gave La Roja a precious victory (2-1) and a place in the final. « I have three or four goals that I really like », Yamal said, quoted by TouchlineX (via 60 Minutes on CBS News). « But if I have to pick just one, for its importance and its beauty, it’s the one I scored against France at the Euro. » This season, the Catalan has looked less effective, hampered by injuries and off-field issues.
