World Cup Hero
Predict the 2026 World Cup your way
First ever World Cup at 18 — and he's already the best player in the world in his position. Broke through at Euro 2024 at 16 as the youngest player and scorer ever at a Euros. At Barcelona he's the magician on the right flank where Messi once stood. If Spain win the World Cup, Yamal will probably be player of the tournament — and goes straight into the history books at 18.
Dribbling, both feet, left foot through the middle, creativity, calmness.
With Yamal, Spain start as red-hot title favourites. He can become world champion at 18 — that would place him straight in the history books.
