Lamine Yamal: "I will win the World Cup, France is not better than Spain"
Lamine Yamal, a young Barcelona player, confidently states that he will win the World Cup and does not think that France is better than Spain. He is preparing for the round of 16 match against Austria.
Lamine Yamal, a talented young Barcelona player, is full of confidence in his own skills and Spain's chances for the 2026 World Cup. Although he was unable to play in all group stage matches due to a hamstring injury, he is currently ready to play. He has scored one goal in the matches so far and is now preparing for the round of 16 match against Austria.
On COPE's "El Partidazo", Yamal expressed his ambitions, saying: "I think I will win the World Championship this year." The player is aware of the difficulties of the tournament, especially after the eliminations of teams such as Germany and the Netherlands. "I will do everything in my power," he added firmly.
France, still in the tournament, could stand in Spain's way in the semi-finals, just as they did at the Euros two years ago. Yamal, however, is not convinced of the superiority of the French. "France is not better than us. Since I have been in the team, they have not beaten us yet. They have great players, but there is no clear favorite at this Championship," he said confidently.
Spain and France still have 1/16-final matches to play: the French will face Sweden on Tuesday at 11 p.m., and the Spanish will host Austria on Thursday at 9 p.m.
