This game will definitely go down in the history of the tournament, as Yamal became the youngest player in the history of the European Championships. The young Spaniard was 16 years and 338 days old at the time of his appearance. The previous record belonged to Polish midfielder Kacper Kozlovski, who played at Euro 2020 at the age of 17 years and 246 days.
