Barcelona Starlet Lamine Yamal did not have a memorable quarterfinals of the Nations League with Spain against the Netherlands, but the 17-year-old has made it a habit to show when his parties need him the most. His goal in extra time will endure the test of time, and he kept the coupons for a certain Dutchman with Real Madrid -Links.
Lamine Yamal was the author of an incredibly third goal for Spain on Sunday evening, giving them the management in extra time in a quarterfinals of the Nations League that would end up to 5-5. La Roja then squeezed penalties along the Netherlands after the efforts of Donyell Malen were saved by Unai Simon and Pedri converted his in sudden death.
Before the competition, the former Dutch international and Real Madrid star Rafael van der Vaart had noticed that he was not a fan of the attitude of Lamine Yamal.
“It seemed that Yamal did not go well to be confronted with Hato. These are things I am paying attention to: I see things that bother me a bit, not a lot of effort, some superficial gestures … That is when I think: if you are so young, you have to be happy with every minute you play for Spain,” MD Quote.
“No matter how good you are: at that age you have to prove it every minute and in every game. But that does not change the fact that Hato just had him in his pocket.”
After his goal in Extra Time, the 17-year-old halfway through the celebrity stopped to lower his shorts and was copied by Nico Williams. After the game he went to social media to also challenge Van der Vaart.
“Pants low, a goal, a missed penality and in the semi -final Hehehehe let's go Spain!” He posted on his Instagram, including screenshots of Van der Vaart's face.
Lamine Yamal has shown few signs that he has thrown his way away, or criticism of him. After he recently interviewed because of his lack of goals, he scored against Benfica before the international break in the Champions League and then took the winner against Atletico Madrid in a crucial La Liga meeting. He also passed Adrien Rabiot in Euro 2024 last summer in the semi-final against France, after the Olympique Marseille midfielder had wondered how good he was and also posted on social media.
