MADRID, 8 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) –
This Friday, FC Barcelona player Lamine Yamal became the youngest international in the history of the Absolute team after participating in the qualification match for the 2024 German Euro Cup against Georgia.
At 16 years and 57 days old, the Blaugrana winger made his debut with the ‘Red’ surely sooner than expected, as he had to enter the field of play in the final stages of the first half to replace the injured Marco Asensio.
Yamal thus surpasses his current teammate in the Blaugrana team Pablo Martín Páez Gavira, ‘Gavi’, who debuted at 17 years old and 62 on October 6, 2021 in the semifinals of the Nations League against Italy, with Luis Enrique Martínez as a coach, who also gave him ownership.
The Andalusian midfielder then ended with a much longer record since he took that honor away from Ángel Zubieta Redondo, who debuted with the ‘Roja’ in a match against Czechoslovakia when he was 17 years and 284 days old. Behind them are Ansu Fati, who did it at the age of 17 years and 308 days, Guillermo Eizaguirre (18 years and 2 days), Bojan Krkic (18 years and 13 days) and Pedri González (18 years and 120 days).
