Lamine Yamal Breaks Mbappé’s Record as Youngest to 10 Major Tournament Wins
Lamine Yamal set a new European football milestone during Spain’s 3–0 victory over Austria in the 2026 World Cup round of 32. At just 18 years and 354 days old, the Barcelona winger notched his 10th win in major international tournaments, overtaking the previous mark held by France captain Kylian Mbappé. Yamal’s breakthrough began at UEFA Euro 2024, where he starred in all seven matches as a 16-year-old and helped Spain lift the trophy. His impact was clear in North America too; Spain drew their opener against Cape Verde without him but returned to winning form once he regained a starting spot. Spain now carry a ten-match winning streak into a tough round-of-16 clash with Portugal. All eyes will be on Yamal to see if his record run continues.
