Spain reached the European Championship final thanks to their victory in a thrilling semi-final against France. One teenager in particular shined. “What a beast!” wrote the local press.
Spain:
“Marca”: “Spain reach the final of the European Championship in brilliant fashion, with an anthology goal from Lamine Yamal and another from Dani Olmo.”
“AS”: “Lamine makes Spain happy. A great goal from the Blaugrana starts a comeback, which Olmo crowns with another great move.”
“Mundo Deportivo”: “What a beast! This was Lamine Yamal’s record-breaking goal against France. The Barça striker scored a beautiful goal to restore the tie on the scoreboard after Kolo Muani had scored for France.”
France:
“L’Équipe”: “The eyes are red. Spain ends the adventure of the Équipe Tricolore! La Roja led at half-time thanks to goals from Yamal and Olmo within four minutes and moved into the European Championship final after a controlled second half. Tchouaméni and Mbappé were thwarted by the Spanish goalkeeper.”
Yamal dominated Spain’s team
“Le Figaro”: “Carried by a historic Lamine Yamal, La Roja dominated the French national team and booked their ticket for the final on July 14.”
RMC Sport: “Despite taking the lead through Kolo Muani, Les Bleus collapsed in the first half and were unable to fight back after the break. France are out, while La Roja will challenge England or the Netherlands in Berlin on Sunday.”
“Le Parisien”: “That was it. Les Bleus took the lead against the best attack of the European Championship through Randal Kolo Muani, but conceded two goals in four minutes.”
England:
“The Sun”: “La Roja stun Mbappé and co. after Yamal makes history with a thunderous strike.”
“The Telegraph”: “Lamine Yamal could well still be playing at Euro 2044. But Europe’s most celebrated schoolboy footballer is currently just one game away from reaching the heights that some of the greats never reached in their entire careers.”
“The Guardian”: “Lamine Yamal’s wonder goal takes Spain past France into the Euro 2024 final. (…) Perhaps this is how new empires will be born. (…) Spain took the hardest road to Berlin, beating Italy, Croatia and Germany and now France.”
“Daily Mail”: “Yamal’s magic knocks France out.”
Switzerland:
“Blick”: “Dream shot in the semi-finals: Yamal replaces Vonlanthen as the youngest goalscorer at the European Championships.”
“Tagesanzeiger”: “Thanks to a wonderful goal, Lamine Yamal becomes the youngest goalscorer at the European Championships and helps his team reach the final. The French put in a good performance, but often fail miserably in the final stages.”
Austria:
“Krone”: “Finale! Spain plucks the feathers of the ‘Gallic rooster’.”
