Spain comfortably beat Georgia 7-1 in a match where Yamal became the youngest scorer in Spain's history. At 16 years of age and 57 days, the FC Barcelona player excites the fans of FC Barcelona.

The Barcelona player has been one of the pleasant surprises of the season and at such a young age he has become a starter for Xavi Hernandez's team. However, prior to his call-up to the Spanish National Team, there was doubt about whether he would really arrive in Spain or whether he would be guided by Morocco, having nationality for both nations.
