It was a shock of generations between two of the greatest talents of the 21st century: the final of the League of Nations opposing Spain of Lamine Yamal, Portugal of Cristiano Ronaldo held all its promises. And it was the Lusitanian selection that had the last words to win a second title in this competition, after the session of the penalties (2-2, 5-4 AP).
A success that still bears the signing of the Lord CR7. Despite its discretion in the game, the fivefold Ballon d'Or added a goal to its collection by finding the net on a service of the Parisian Nuno Mendes. At the same time, the left side, elected MVP of the final, was a real nightmare for Lamine Yamal, annihilating each attempt to accelerate the Spanish prodigy.
Cristiano Ronaldo, competition beast.
A small disillusionment for the 17 -year -old striker, presented as one of the main competitors of Ousmane Dembélé in the quest for the Ballon d'Or. And the least we can say is that Lamine Yamal already displays the plumb of the greatest champions. The observers were able to notice his insurance in front of the microphones. On Sunday, it was on the ground that the Barcelona showed his temperament.
When Yamal Snobe Ronaldo
A scene has surprised many observers: we see Lamine Yamal showing an attitude radically different from his Spanish teammates. While the Roja players remain on the lawn to congratulate the Portuguese winners, the virtuoso of Barça, upset, suddenly leaves the field without greeting the victory of his opponents. A behavior perceived as a lack of respect for his elder Cristiano Ronaldo.
For his part, CR7 did not seem to keep him rigor since he distributed the compliments in the mixed zone. “” He will win many titles, both collective and individual, Ronaldo said. He is only 17 years old … I repeat: he is a young person who has a great margin of progression. It is a phenomenon, but it must be left alone, that's what I ask. He has a very long career ahead of him and will surely win the League of Nations several times. An outing that did not leave Lamine Yamal insensitive. The Barcelonan caught up by posting a story to pay tribute to the Portuguese scorer on Instagram. Without resentment.
