The exciting match will take place on Saturday night between the Spanish national team who will rely on a young winger duo, Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams, against Croatia in Berlin.
In the 2024 European Cup Group B match, Lamine Yamal is in the spotlight for being the youngest player in this tournament, which is still 16 years old. The Barcelona player will operate on the right wing for the Spanish national team.
The Nico Williams (21 years) who becomes a regular player for Athletic Bilbao will move from the left.
"They are young players, especially Lamine Yamal who are young but have extraordinary talent, which only the elected players have," said Spain coach De la Fuente in Berlin as reported by AFP, quoted from ANTARA, Saturday, June 15.
"Obviously they are a gift from God, because very few players have the qualities they have," said De la Fuente.

On the other hand, De la Fuente realized that Spain still needed experienced players to compete in major European Cup-class tournaments.
For this reason, Spain has prepared two senior wingers, Ferran Torres and Ayoze Perez, to replace Yamine and Nico if both cannot show their best game against Croatia.
"You might underestimate if Nico and Lamine play tomorrow, you might think it's a surprise if they don't play, but that's not for me," said De la Fuente.
Croatian captain Luka Modric, 38, praised the talents of the two Spanish wingers.
"Everyone will see it as the biggest threat from Spain, he has great potential and a great career in the future," Modric concluded.
Spain are in Group B of the European Cup with Croatia, Italy and Albania.
