Arsenal player Declan Rice gives honest verdict on Spain player Lamine Yamal outstanding performance at Euro 2024 semi-final against France

Adrien Rabiot was humiliated by Lamine Yamal during France’s Euro 2024 semi-final victory over Spain.

Declan Rice is unable to suppress a snicker as he observes Lamine Yamal, the Spanish wonderkid, perform on one of the most prestigious stages in football.

“I was attempting to secure a scholarship when I was 16,” Rice chuckles. “And here, Yamal is placing one in the top bins.” There is no way I was prepared for what he is doing at 16, as it is on an entirely different level.

Yamal, who will turn 17 shortly before the final between Spain and England in Berlin, has been a phenomenon at Euro 2024. In their semi-final match against France, the teenager struck the equalizer.

After Adrien Rabiot, a French midfielder, stated, “If Lamine Yamal wishes to participate in the Euro final with Spain, he will be required to perform significantly better against us than he has thus far,” Yamal embarrassed Rabiot.

“Move in silence,” Yamal wrote following Spain’s 2-1 victory. Speak only when it is appropriate to declare a checkmate. At the same time, he exclaimed to the television cameras on the pitch, “Speak now, speak now!”

“The back three has truly been beneficial, and Jude and Phil in the 10s have also been instrumental.” Therefore, it is anticipated to be an exceptional match. Ultimately, it is a game of football.

“It is on the brink of being an exceptional final and yet another unforgettable evening.” Hopefully, we will be able to accomplish it now that we are back-to-back. We will give our all for the players, the fans, and this manager, as he is deserving.

“We are so eager to accomplish this and bring some joy to the nation.”We are aware of the strategy that will enable us to prevail in this final. We are confident in our ability to prevail in this contest. There is an additional one in our extremities.

Rice, an Arsenal player, emphasized the team’s success against the Dutch as a result of the team’s equilibrium in midfield.

He further stated, “We have discussed Switzerland and the Netherlands extensively in the past two games, and we have observed that they are adept at maintaining possession of the ball. However, we have maintained possession of the ball to an equal or greater extent in those games.”

“We have executed the ball transfer exceptionally well.” I experienced an immense sense of satisfaction while playing in close proximity to Kobbie (Mainoo).
