Lamine Yamal strikes early again for Spain vs Croatia
Yamal opened the scoring in the 2nd minute against Croatia, matching his early goal versus England, taking his season tally to 16 goal involvements in 10 games.
Lamine Yamal scored in the 2nd minute for a second successive Nations League match, opening the scoring for Spain against Croatia.
It followed the same pattern as the opening round. Against England, when Spain lost 2:3, Yamal also struck in the 2nd minute.
The 19-year-old right winger has now been directly involved in 16 goals across 10 appearances this season for club and country, 10 goals and six assists. Eight of those goals have come in eight matches for Barcelona.
Yamal made his senior debut for Spain in March 2026 and has scored twice for the national side. He has already broken Kylian Mbappe's Champions League record for goal involvements before the age of 20, and Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has backed him to win the 2026 Ballon d'Or.
