Yamal surpasses Vinicius in the national team despite being 7 years younger

At only 18, Lamine Yamal has already exceeded Vinicius Jr’s record of goal contributions for their national teams, despite Vinicius being 7 years older and having represented Brazil in 41 games.

Only 18 years old, Lamine Yamal is demonstrating remarkable development and establishing himself as one of the brightest young talents in world football today. With an assist in the recent match against Bulgaria, the Barcelona star has increased his total goal contributions (goals + assists) for Spain to 15 after just 21 appearances.

Notably, this figure surpasses that of Vinicius Jr, the star player for Brazil and Real Madrid. Although 25 years old with 41 caps for the national team, Vinicius has directly contributed to only 13 goals for the Selecao. This comparison highlights Yamal’s explosive impact early in his career, already making a significant influence.

Yamal’s acceleration, refined technique, and sharp tactical vision make him a “special weapon” in Spain’s attacking play. In every match, he brings a unique edge with unpredictable moves that opponents find hard to counter. Regular appearances for Barcelona in La Liga and the Champions League have also helped Yamal build confidence and experience on the international stage.

As Spanish football seeks a new generation capable of replacing the veterans and even the former top attacking stars, Yamal’s emergence is viewed as a major boost. Fans hope this young player will lead La Roja back to the top ranks of world football after more than a decade since their 2010 World Cup triumph.

At 18, Lamine Yamal’s achievements are more than impressive stats; they signal the rise of a new golden generation in Spanish football. Given his current form, Yamal could become the new icon guiding La Roja towards success in major tournaments in the near future.
