Can Lamine Yamal Surpass Cristiano Ronaldo For THIS Record?

Lamine Yamal has already registered two assists and is on the verge of surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo for assists in the knockout stages of Euros. Lamine Yamal, who is merely 16 years old and featuring in his first-ever Euros, is already levelled with Cristiano Ronaldo (who too has two assists). This achievement makes Yamal such a special player, as Cristiano Ronaldo played his 6th Euros, before his quarter final exit at the hands of Spain's semi final opponents — France.

Fun fact: At 16 years old, Lamine Yamal already has the same amount of assists at major tournament knockouts as Cristiano Ronaldo had in his career (2). pic.twitter.com/oAs2a13T4U
