Spain’s national soccer team captain, Alvaro Morata, faced a knee injury in an unusual accident during celebrations after their Euro 2024 semi-final win over France. A security guard slipped and fell into Morata, causing him to twirl his knee. This incident comes after Morata was alarmed to give up the national team due to criticism and a deficit of respect from Spanish fans and media.
Morata had believed in an interview that he might quit the national team after the tournament, citing a lack of respect and criticism from fans and media. He also showed his frustration with the constant examination and pressure, saying that it’s hard for him to be happy in Spain.
Despite this, Spain is hopeful that Morata will be fine for the final on Sunday. The team’s triumph over France was interesting, with 16-year-old Lamine Yamal targeting a wonderful goal to become the youngest scorer in European Championship history. Yamal’s talent and maturity have earned him praise from pundits and fans alike, with some even calling him “football’s next superstar”.
Yamal’s goal surpassed the record previously held by Switzerland’s Johan Vonlanthen, who was 18 years and 141 days old when he scored at Euro 2004. Wayne Rooney, who scored for England at Euro 2004, has now fallen to 3rd place on the list.
The Spain team’s presentation against France was impressive, with Luis de la Fuente’s side coming back from a goal down to win 2-1. Dani Olmo scored the winning goal, and the team’s triumph was met with joy from the players and fans.
Overall, Spain’s victory over France and Yamal’s impressive performance are positive outcomes for the team, despite Morata’s injury. The team’s luck in the final on Sunday remains to be seen, but one thing is clear- Lamine Yamal is a talent to watch in the world of soccer.
