“Lamine Yamal’s Euro 2024 Journey: Youngest Star Faces Legal and Historic Challenges”

Lamine Yamal: The Young Star’s Euro 2024 Challenge

German laws prohibit children under 18 from working after 11:00 PM on Sundays, meaning that if Lamine Yamal stays on the field for 30 more minutes, it would violate these regulations. The Sun reported that Spain’s young star would either need to be substituted out or face a fine of €30,000 (£25,000/$32,000). This rule might be disregarded, as Spain is likely to take the risk of keeping Yamal on the field.

Barcelona’s young star has been one of La Roja’s top players in Euro 2024, scoring a magnificent goal in the semi-finals. If they win in Berlin, the €30,000 fine will be the least of their concerns. Lawyer Jonas Warnken emphasizes that imposing a fine is unlikely.

Yamal is now the youngest player to participate in the European Championship finals. Additionally, the 17-year-old is the youngest scorer in the knockout stages. If he wins the trophy in the final, he will make history as the youngest player to win the EURO. Yamal hopes to shine on the biggest stage in today’s match between Spain and England. The winger aims to celebrate his 17th birthday with a special gift for himself and his nation in the German capital.
