After talking a lot before the match, Lamine Yamal delivered on the pitch Tuesday night in the semi-final of this 2026 World Cup against France.

Even though it still wasn't the best version of Lamine Yamal against Les Bleus, he won a penalty and was also involved in the second goal. At the end of the match, the young Barça star poked fun at France on social media.

"Spain in the final!!! Sorry, sorry," he wrote—in French, with a laughing emoji.
