Every tournament at the European Championships brings a glimpse of youth as well as experience. This time, 16-year-old Spanish teenager Lamine Yamal is showing it. Spain has reached the final stage thanks to his skill. England's Jude Bellingham is considered to be Yamal's rival on the grand stage of the final. The fight in the final is between these two.
If Yamal and Bellingham fight, the first thing that comes to mind is the Spanish La Liga. Yamal's rise to the stage of Spain's highest football competition. Bellingham is taking away all the light by coming to the same stage. The two played for two arch-rival clubs, Barcelona and Real Madrid. As such, the fight between the two is getting more crowded in the final of the Euro.
Yamal has been spreading light since the beginning of this year's Euro. Playing the team, playing himself. Luis de la Fuente quickly became a key player in the team.

Yamal was on the field for a total of 418 minutes in 6 matches this season. He scored an important goal in the semi-final. Attacked the opponent's camp 16 times. Assisted teammates in 3 goals. All in all, the 16-year-old wonder boy is ahead in the race to be the best player of the season.
Meanwhile Jude Bellingham came to the Euros in his best form. The English midfielder stepped onto the stage of Europe's best after winning the UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid. However, the Real star was a shadow of himself at the beginning of the Euro. Played against Slovakia. He scored in the last minute of the match and sent the team to the quarter finals.
Bellingham was on the field for 581 minutes in 6 matches so far. He played more than the scheduled time in each match. He scored two goals. Completed accurate passes to teammates almost 90 percent of the time. But he has no assist in the goal. England is looking at him in the final.
There is no way to predict who will win the final. There is no way to know who will play the game. But the numbers game or record tells a lot. It goes without saying that the Yamal-Bellingham fight will give another breath-taking moment on the stage of Europe's best. Just waiting for the fight to be staged.
