Just a few hours left until the World Cup 2026 quarter-final clash between Belgium and Spain.

Long before kick-off, Luis de la Fuente expressed confidence in Lamine Yamal. The Spanish coach believes his young winger still hasn't shown the full extent of his potential since the start of the tournament in the United States.

"The best version of Lamine in attack is yet to come," the Spanish coach said this Friday at a press conference. De la Fuente also explained that his staff is working to channel Lamine Yamal's desire and energy.
