<p>According to <a href="https://www.cope.es/programas/tiempo-de-juego/noticias/lamine-yamal-consigue-primer-titulo-eurocopa-tiene-eso-20240627_3374278" target="_blank"><em>Cadena Cope</em></a>, Yamal passed his fourth ESO exams this week, an educational milestone in Spain equivalent to a high school diploma in the United States or GCSEs in the United Kingdom. This achievement is remarkable, considering the high demands of professional football and the intense preparations for the European Championship.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While Yamal has successfully navigated his school exams, his next educational steps remain undecided. He faces the choice of continuing into <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/wont-come-back-lamine-yamal-reveals-not-return-school-spain-win-euro-2024/blt14324c525561983f#csf7c95cec47bf5d47" target="_blank">Bachillerato, the final two years of high school </a>education in Spain, or fully committing to his burgeoning football career. This decision will significantly impact his future, balancing the pursuit of academic qualifications with the demands of professional sports.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Yamal's impact at Euro 2024 has been immediate and historic. He made his debut against Croatia, becoming the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/lamine-yamal-makes-history-spain-breaks-record-appearance-croatia-euro-2024/blt5432a3582f20c048" target="_blank">youngest-ever player to feature in the tournament.</a> His performance against Italy further showcased his potential when he nearly scored, forcing a superb save from Gianluigi Donnarumma. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>After passing his exams, Yamal's first act was to call his mother and share the good news. Now, with his educational responsibilities temporarily set aside, Yamal can focus entirely on his football as Spain prepares for their round of 16 clash against Georgia on Sunday.</p>
