Lamine Yamal matches Pelé’s record with goals against France

Lamine Yamal just helped Spain reach the Nations League final. He scored two goals against France in the semifinals. Now, Spain will play Portugal in the final.

But here’s what’s really cool: Yamal has already scored three goals against France before turning 18. The only other player to do that was Pelé, back in 1958.

How good is Yamal?

Pelé was 17 when he scored a hat-trick against France in the World Cup. That helped Brazil win 5-3 and make it to the final. Brazil then won the World Cup, with Pelé scoring two goals in the final.

1. Pelé’s performance earned him the nickname “The King” from the French.
2. He was still just a teenager when he won his first World Cup.

Yamal is already breaking records like Pelé’s. He’s proving to be an amazing young player. As he gets older, he’s only going to get better.

What’s next for Yamal?

We’ll have to wait and see how he does in the Nations League final against Portugal. One thing’s for sure: Yamal is a player to watch.

Yamal’s already making a name for himself in the soccer world. With his skills and talent, he’s sure to be a star for years to come.
