Lamine Yamal Stars as Spain Beat Croatia 4-1 in Nations League

In Seville, Lamine Yamal again gave Spain a reminder of how quickly his international standing has risen. The 19-year-old forward was the standout player in a 4-1 Nations League victory over Croatia, scoring Spain’s third goal as the hosts took control of the evening.

The news from the club

Yamal’s display has strengthened his case for a major individual honour, with the young Spain international continuing to place himself among the game’s most prominent attacking talents.

His contribution against Croatia included the goal that made it 3-1, a key moment in Spain’s eventual three-goal win. The performance also drew recognition from his coach, who highlighted the forward’s impact after the match.

At only 19, Yamal has become an increasingly decisive figure for Spain, and his latest Nations League outing added further weight to his candidacy for individual recognition.
