Didier Deschamps: 'Lamine Yamal was very lucky to score THAT goal'

France manager Didier Deschamps was infuriated to see Lamine Yamal score an insane goal in Spain’s 2-1 win over his side in Euro 2024 semi-final.

Speaking about the Barcelona man after the game, he explained: “His shot was magnificent. He was very lucky, but we shouldn’t take away his credit.

“We were obviously one too far behind him. The Spanish have many good strikers outside the box. We gave him a little too much freedom.”

The brilliance behind Yamal’s goal was that he managed to also divert it past Adrien Rabiot. The French midfielder tried playing mind games with the teenager before the game, only to be embarrassed by him in the semi-final.

Lamine has one goal and three assists for Spain in an amazing Euro 2024 campaign. He’ll look to continue his heroics in the final and win his first major international tournament on Sunday (July 14).
