Spain’s Lamine Yamal is not allowed to play in extra time if the Euro 2024 final against England goes beyond 90 minutes, Soccernet.football understands.
The young star has been a key player for Spain throughout the tournament, known for his speed, creativity, and brilliance. Yamal scored a magnificent goal in the semi-final against France, to highlight his importance to La Roja.
However, due to German laws, players under 18 cannot work past 11 pm on a Sunday.
This means Yamal, who is 17, would be breaking the rules if he played during extra time. If Spain decide to keep him on the pitch, they could face a fine of €30,000 (£25,000/$32,000), as per TheSun. Despite this, a fine is unlikely to be an issue for Spain while Germany are not expected to enforce the law.
Yamal has already made history as the youngest player to appear in the European Championship finals and the youngest scorer in the knockout rounds. He hopes to continue his impressive form and help Spain win the title when they face England in Berlin.
As Spain prepares for the final, Yamal’s potential impact on the game remains significant. The team might take the risk of playing him in extra time, aiming for victory despite the possible fine.
