Euro 2024: 'The Boy Wonder' from Spain — Lamine Yamal scripts history as the recently-turned 17 years old becomes the youngest player ever to feature in a Euro final. The Spanish winger has achieved the feat at the age of 17 years and 1 day, surpassing previous record holder — Renato Sanches, who achieved the feat playing for Portugal at the age of 18 years and 328 days, during the Euro 2016 final between Portugal and France.
Spain have named a strong starting line-up against England, as only few changes take place from the side that featured in the semi-final against France. Dani Carvajal and Robin Le Normand are the two changes, as they replace Jesus Navas and Nacho Fernandez respectively.
England, on the other hand, have made only one change in their lineup that started against Netherlands in the semi finals, and it is a very controversial one. Manchester United's Luke Shaw, who has been dealing with fitness issues and injuries, gets the nod ahead of Keiran Trippier on the left side of The Three Lions' defence.
