Spain 4-0 Saudi Arabia: Lamine Yamal Making History at 17

[HitmanMatt53]

Spain's 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia yesterday involved Lamine Yamal scoring and assisting at a World Cup at 17 years old. He was born in 2007. The 2006 World Cup he has no memory of. He was playing last night as one of Spain's most important players against Saudi Arabia. His directness his pace his creativity. Spain looked completely different to the team that drew 0-0 with Cape Verde. Yamal's presence changes everything about Spain's attack. He creates panic in defences simply by receiving the ball. The combination of raw talent and already-mature understanding of the game at 17 is genuinely rare. He might be the most exciting teenager at any World Cup since Pele in 1958.

Yamal born in 2007 playing at a World Cup in 2026. The timeline is making people feel very old

[GhostRider63]

The Pele comparison is strong. Seventeen and already performing at the highest level with maturity beyond his age

[DataStream Luca]

Spain with Yamal is a different team than Spain without him. The Cape Verde draw showed that. Yesterday showed it

[Natalie61]

His body language when he has the ball is what gets me. Complete confidence. No fear. Not typical of teenagers

[Ronan_34]

Yamal has potentially three or four more World Cups in him. The records he could set are mind-bending

[Taker04]

Saudi Arabia had no answer for his movement. He kept finding pockets and making things happen

[GlassKnight35]

Spain's dressing room around a 17-year-old carrying that expectation must be an interesting dynamic

[Undertaker92]

If Spain and Argentina meet with Messi and Yamal both in their peaks it's the greatest possible final

[Donna]

Oyarzabal's brace alongside Yamal's contribution is the Spain template working perfectly

[NinaVrina]

A 4-0 win was the statement Spain needed after the Cape Verde embarrassment
