He wasn't content with merely being the youngest player to debut for the Spanish NT; he also scored, securing the record as the youngest scorer. Lamine Yamal made a stunning debut in a match that was a true showcase of talent under the leadership of Luis de la Fuente.
Georgia resembled San Marino, and Spain, the Brazil of the 70s.
De la Fuente clearly placed his trust in experienced players and young talents first chance he could get. His coaching background with younger-tier teams prevents him from hesitating when it comes to relying on young, high-quality players.
Lamine couldn't have hoped for a better debut, where he's made a remarkable leap in his role at Barça, his first minutes on the field, and his goal with the Spanish national team. He still has two more games to solidify his spot in De la Fuente's squad.
