Lamine Yamal breaks Brazil legend Pele's 66-year-old international record after lining up for Spain in Euro 2024 final against England

<p>A day after celebrating his 17th birthday, the youngster was named in the starting XI as La Roja and England went head-to-head in the Euro 2024 final. He is now the youngest player ever to play in a major international final, breaking a record set by Pele in the 1958 World Cup final.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">17 - Aged 17 years and one day, Spain’s Lamine Yamal is the youngest ever player to feature in a FIFA World Cup or UEFA European Championship final, surpassing Pele’s record from the 1958 World Cup (17y 249d). King. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ESPENG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ESPENG</a> <a href="https://t.co/wCD6wac3Zg">pic.twitter.com/wCD6wac3Zg</a></p>— OptaJean (@OptaJean) <a href="https://twitter.com/OptaJean/status/1812548887372353649?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 14, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>It is not the first record that the Barcelona youngster has broken since the European Championship began. He became <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/lamine-yamal-makes-history-spain-breaks-record-appearance-croatia-euro-2024/blt5432a3582f20c048" target="_blank">the youngest player ever to start in a European Championship match</a> when he played against Croatia in his team's opening game. He followed that up with becoming <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/video-lamine-yamal-spain-teenager-european-championship-scoring-record-world-class-france-euro-2024-semi-final/blt786c36f1a28961f6" target="_blank">the youngest ever scorer in the competition's history</a> when he struck in the semi-final win against France.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Amazingly, Yamal may not have been allowed to keep playing had the final against England go to extra time as German law prevents anyone under the age of 18 from working beyond 11pm. Spain would have been facing a fine if they'd ignored that rule, but they didn't have to worry in the end, beating England 2-1 in normal time thanks to goals from Nico Williams and Mikel Oyarzabal.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Yamal is also now the youngest ever player to win the European Championship after helping Luis de la Fuente's men overpower Gareth Southgate's England.</p>
