Fair points. What I like about Ruiz is he really took responsibility as the leader of the team and midfield tonight after Rodri went off at HT. Zubimendi was great when he came on also. Always knew Zubi was good anyway. Of course they've never heard of him in England so obviously Rice is ten times the player he is.

BTW, all these discussions just comes to show how much of a team effort and tournament this was for Spain... amazing job by de la Fuente, everyone knew their job and stick to it, there was no star player in this team, but as a whole they performed great

Yes they have quality players, but more importantly they are a cohesive team.

Nobody has set up more goals in a single European Championship since records began in 1980.

And nobody has ever been directly involved in goals in a quarter-final, semi-final and final before Yamal achieved the feat.

Before turning 17, Yamal had played 51 times for Barcelona, scoring seven goals and setting up another seven.

For Spain he now has 14 appearances, three goals and seven assists.

By comparison, neither Argentina's Messi nor Portugal's Ronaldo - the two greatest players of this generation - had played a single first-team game for club or country when they were 16.

And when we look at the players expected to replace Messi and Ronaldo as Ballon d'Or rivals in the future - France's Kylian Mbappe and Norway's Erling Haaland - their stats at this age cannot compare to Yamal either.

Mbappe had played four games for Monaco, making one assist before turning 17, while Haaland had played 23 times in Norway for second-tier Bryne and top-flight Molde, scoring once.

Even one of the most famous players to make their breakthrough at 16, Wayne Rooney, had only played 10 times for Everton and scored three goals before reaching 17.

I wonder how he feels about all this attention.

What his mentality is like. He is on the start of an epic journey. Like other young players, do they feel excited, nervous? Do they have any fear about their careers not panning out as they hope, or does the exuberance and innocence of youth mean they just love playing the game?

Former Spain midfielder Juan Mata, working on BBC One, said: "I was having dinner yesterday with [Barcelona boss] Xavi and he told me he hasn't seen a player of this quality."

This man has seen some players

16 y/o Yamal:

1x Euro
1x La Liga

Yamal vs Bellingham could be the next Messi vs Ronaldo.

Bellingham is young, but few years older than Lamine (same as CR7 is few years older than Messi)

Bellingham is a great player, but not as great as some people think (like Ronaldo) and he have better club achievements because hes playing in Real Madrid (like Ronaldo) while Yamal is great in Barcelona, but thats Barcelona, so Bellingham have one more CL than him.

On the other hand, Lamine have Euro 2024 and was very important for his team to win that tournament (like Messi). He scored an inch perfect screamer when his team needed that (like Messi vs Mexico). He broke few records (like Messi), because he is the youngest player to score a goal in Euro history and he get the most assist in one Euro tournament in its history. Bellingham won nothing with England. Lamine international legacy is already better than Bellingham international legacy (like Messi vs Ronaldo).

They played in final game of important tournament against each other and Lamine won (like Messi vs Ronaldo in CL final in their early career).

Lamine dominant left foot vs Bellingham dominant right foot like Messi vs Ronaldo

Barcelona player vs Real Madrid player like Messi vs Ronaldo

They are both great at such a young age like Messi vs Ronaldo

Lamine is humble and Bellingham is cocky like Messi and Ronaldo

I hope Lamine Yamal is gonna have great career with similar longevity, because his very first stage is almost perfect. Imagine winning La Liga and Euro 2024 while being 16 y/o. He have potential to end up as one of the best in history.

Okay, lets watch our 37 y/o GOAT in Copa America final
