Spain's 16-year-old player Lamin Yamal has created a stir in the Euro Cup 2024. Spain gave him a chance against Croatia, since then he has started making new records and is in the headlines. With his entry in this match, he became the youngest player to play in the Euro Championship. He created a sensation by scoring a brilliant goal against France in the semi-final match and became the youngest to score a goal in the Euro Cup. However, there is a crisis looming over his playing in the final match. Not only this, Spain's team can also be fined 30 thousand euros i.e. about 27 lakh rupees.

Why will Yamal be banned?

16 years 362 days old Lamin Yamal has broken the 20-year-old record of scoring the youngest goal in this Euro. Earlier this record was in the name of Johan Vonlanthen, who scored a goal against France in 2004 at the age of 18 years 141 days. Spain's coach praised Yamal's goal in the semi-finals and called it a genius touch. Despite such a great performance and praise, it seems difficult for Yamal to play in the Euro Cup final. The reason behind this is Germany. This time Germany is hosting the Euro Championship and according to the labor law there, children under the age of 18 are not allowed to work after 8 pm.

Minor athletes are allowed only till 11 pm

There is an exemption for athletes, but they also cannot play after 11 pm. According to Germany, many matches during the tournament started after 9 pm. In football, apart from 90 minutes of play and a 15-minute break, injury time is also given. Then interviews are also conducted after the match. Due to this, there is a possibility of Yamal's work time crossing 11 pm. The final match is also to start at 9 pm. Due to this, there is a danger of Yamal being banned from playing. However, Spain will have the opportunity to substitute him by playing him in the first half.

27 lakh fine

During the round of 16, Yamal played the entire match against Georgia, in which Spain won 4-1. In such a situation, under German law, Spain's team can be fined $ 32,500. However, this decision completely depends on the German authorities whether they take this step or not.

The price is 9 thousand crores

Yamal has come out of the academy of Spain's legendary club Barcelona and has been showing his talent in the national team with this club for the last one year. According to Barcelona's contract, the buyout price of Yamal is 1 billion euros i.e. Rs 9036 crore.
