Spain coach Luis de la Fuente said seeing 16-year-old winger Lamine Yamal's performance against France on Tuesday in their 2-1 Euro 2024 semifinal triumph was like watching "a genius".
Yamal scored a brilliant goal to level Randal Kolo Muani's opener for Les Bleus, with Dani Olmo then netting what proved to be the winner for Spain.

"We have seen a genius, the product of a genius," De la Fuente told reporters.
