2024 is the year of Lamin Yamal. It’s unlikely that anyone else can generate so many headlines in 90 minutes.
But Lamin's strength lies not only in the destruction of statistical monuments. There are eight attacking metrics in which the 16-year-old boy is in the top 4 at the Euro. Yes, we are still talking about the guy who called his mother a week ago to happily announce that he had completed his secondary education.
In some indicators (assists, expected assists) Yamal is not alone at the top and shares first place with other players. Neighbors according to metrics are entirely elite. Promotion kings (Cross, De Bruyne, Bruno), wing arsonists (teammate Nico Williams, Jeremy Doku).
