'Listen to this!' - stadium erupts as Lamine Yamal comes on for Spain

Lamine Yamal entered the field as a substitute for Spain on November 16, 2023, during their 2026 World Cup qualifying match against Cape Verde at the Atlanta Stadium. The stadium erupted with cheers as the 16-year-old player, who plays for FC Barcelona, made his appearance. This marked a significant moment for Yamal, who became Spain's youngest-ever senior international player. His debut came just months after he became the youngest player to debut for Barcelona's senior team in April 2023. The match was part of Spain's campaign in Group H of the European qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
