Yamal seemed to become the face of this Spain side heading into Euro 2024. For one it’s his youth, of course — a star at just 16. There’s also the potential for so many storylines, with his birthday the day before the final itself.

Williams’ performance in the 4-1 win over Georgia speaks for itself: an assist for the equaliser, the third goal to make sure of the victory and — quite incredibly for a forward against such an aggressive and front-footed defence — not a single misplaced pass. Oh, and his birthday is one day be-fore Yamal’s, too.
