Lamine Yamal gets World Cup instead of a goal
Toluwani Lasisi
If Barcelona Star Lamine Yamal ever dreamt of getting a goal in the just-concluded World Cup, it was a vain one.
But who will waste their time pitying him?
No way! He got what is far more than the Golden Boot.
In his tender season, he got his hand on the FIFA World Cup trophy on his first participation with the Spanish side.
Yamal celebrated his birthday on July 13th ,six days before the tournament’s final and was given the best gift he could I’ve asked for by lifting the crest with his teammates.
Incidentally, Yamal picked up an hamstring injury in his left leg during a LA Liga match against Celta Vigo forcing him to miss the remaining matches of the season but he recovered in time for the World cup.
The La Roja also had a moment of scare when the Winger also picked up a minor knock to his thigh in the semi final against France but was given medical clearance for the final.
Eventually, thriving where even the big boss Lionel Messi, couldn’t, Yamal completed the full time against Argentina where he had 2 shots, 44 accurate passes (88% success rate), 3 successful tackles, and a dangerous late free-kick.
So, who would waste their emotions pitying him for not hitting the net?
