Gautam Adani Praises 16-Year-Old Lamine Yamal for Historic Goal in Spain’s Euro 2024 Win Over France

New Delhi [India], July 12: Following Spain’s 2-1 victory over France in the UEFA Euros 2024 semifinal, Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani applauded the young winger Lamine Yamal for his exceptional goal on Wednesday.

Yamal, with his quick feet, cut the ball to his left and curled it into the top left corner, leaving French keeper Mike Maignan helpless. The 16-year-old’s 25-yard stroke made him the youngest player to score at a major tournament. His efforts ignited hope among fans and his team.

Gautam Adani took to social media to appreciate Yamal. He wrote, “The world of soccer stood still at 20:16 yesterday. Logic defying magic goal from 20 yards by 16-year-old Lamine Yamal. Coincidence? Maybe. Talent? Undeniable! What an inspiring story for all youngsters–humble and difficult beginnings, talking to his mother daily, carrying school textbooks with him–and yet this teenage sensation has made history, becoming the youngest ever to play and score for both FC Barcelona and Spain. Congratulations to @FCBarcelona for scouting out Yamal at six years of age! Amazing. The power of youth is blazing bright! Congrats to Spain and Yamal! Bring it on.”

In the match, Dani Olmo and Yamal showcased their skills to power Spain to a 2-1 win over France in the semifinal at Allianz Arena. It was a closely contested match from the start, with referee Slavko Vincic officiating the exciting semifinal in Munich.
