One of the exciting games to look out for this weekend is the Euro 24 closing match between England and Spain in Germany.

Ahead of the face, England striker, Ollie Watkins has singled out Spain winger, Lamine Yamal for praise as he tagged him as an unbelievable talent.

Yamal, who will turn 17 years on July 13, has emerged as one of the breakout stars in the Euro 2024.

The Barcelona star was the youngest scorer in the 2-1 semi-final win over France at the competition.

Speaking about Yamal, Watkins, who is signed to Premier League side Aston Villa, said (as per Reshad Rahman) that the youngster is an unbelievable talent, as everyone has seen what he is capable of doing on the pitch.

Watkins stressed that it’s not often to see anyone scoring against France in the semi-final of the Euros at age 16.

Calling Yamal a generational talent, Watkins said “He’s got the world at his feet. He’s miles ahead of me when I was 16 or 17.”

Meanwhile, the Three Lions of England led by Gareth Southgate will hope to defeat Spain to clinch the trophy this year having defeated the Netherlands to make it to the finals.
