A Double Record-Breaker: Hailing from Barcelona's youth ranks, Lamine Yamal entered the game as a substitute in the 44th minute. At the age of 16 years and 57 days, he not only became Spain's youngest men's player but also eclipsed the previous record held by Gavi, who made his international debut in 2021 at the age of 17 years and 62 days.

A Scoring Debut to Remember: Yamal's historic night didn't stop there. In the 74th minute, he found the back of the net, completing Spain's scoring spree with a goal in their 7-1 victory during the Euro 2024 qualifying match. This remarkable feat made him Spain's youngest goalscorer, dethroning his Barcelona teammate Gavi, once again.

Previous Records and Achievements: This isn't the first time Lamine Yamal has turned heads with his talent. In August, he made his full debut for Barcelona, becoming the youngest player to start a La Liga match in the 21st century. For his outstanding performance, he was named the league's U23 player for that month.

When he initially debuted for Barcelona in April at the tender age of 15, he became the club's youngest player in over a century.

Spain's Dominant Victory: In the game against Georgia, Álvaro Morata stole the show with a hat trick, while an own goal from Solomon Kverkveila and goals from Dani Olmo and Nico Williams contributed to Spain's resounding 7-1 victory.

Group A Standings: Spain currently holds the second position in Group A, trailing Scotland by nine points, although the Scots have played two more games.
