Spain: Luis de la Fuente lost for words over Lamine Yamal
Last Saturday, Lamine Yamal scored again after just over a minute against England (3-2). The young FC Barcelona star did it again against Croatia (4-1) on Tuesday evening in the Nations League.
Lamine Yamal even scored twice and provided an assist for Marc Pubill against Luka Modric's Croatia. He is a true magician at the service of La Roja, as his coach Luis de la Fuente put it so well.

"Lamine is very eager to continue improving and to show the whole world what kind of footballer he is. He is so humble that it makes him even greater. We enjoyed his magic at the service of the team. In the future, he will be much more recognised for what he does and for his team play. It is a privilege to have him with us. (...) The Ballon d'Or? Whether it is Fabián Ruiz, Lamine, Rodri, Marc Cucurella or Ferran Torres, it doesn't matter. I hope justice will be done to them," the Spanish coach said at a press conference.
