Spain await Saudi Arabia with Yamal in the spotlight
Spain today, and the group hangs on it
Your team face Spain in their second Group H match Sunday. Miami again. Hard Rock Stadium. The opener against Uruguay is already behind you, and now it is the 2024 European champions (1). A result here changes everything ahead of the Cape Verde finale.
De la Fuente: Yamal is like Dalí or Michelangelo
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente put Lamine Yamal in a category of his own before this match. "What we think is exceptional, they consider normal," he said, comparing the 18-year-old to Salvador Dalí and Michelangelo (2). De la Fuente called Yamal a genius and insisted that is not an exaggeration. Saudi Arabia's defence will have a plan for him.
