Spain's 1-0 World Cup final victory over Argentina in New York cemented 19-year-old Lamine Yamal as a generational talent. The Barcelona winger became the youngest player ever to win both the World Cup and the European Championship.
Former England goalkeeper Joe Hart told BBC Sport that Yamal "has completed football" after witnessing the teenager's composure under constant pressure from Argentina.
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente praised Yamal's sacrifice for the team. Despite a hamstring concern, the winger started seven of eight tournament matches and has now won all 13 of his major tournament starts.
A post-match image of Yamal consoling a tearful Lionel Messi symbolized a generational shift. The teenager is now central to Spain's plan to build on their world title.
