Hollywood superstar Tom Holland has revealed that Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal possesses the perfect athletic traits to step into the role of Spider-Man. The Marvel lead made the comparison while visiting Madrid during the 2026 World Cup, where he has been following the progress of the Spanish national team.

Lamine Yamal was consoled by girlfriend Ines Garcia after Spain were held to a frustrating goalless draw by Cape Verde in their World Cup opener. The Barcelona star came off the bench but could not inspire a breakthrough as La Roja squandered a host of chances and dropped unexpected points in Group H.

Cape Verde brothers Laros and Deroy Duarte have opened up on the incredible moment they faced off against Spain's golden boy Lamine Yamal during their historic World Cup stalemate. Despite the Barcelona sensation arriving on the pitch with a massive reputation, the underdog duo revealed they never felt threatened by his presence on the field.

Cape Verde pulled off the biggest shock of the 2026 World Cup so far by holding Spain to a 0-0 draw in Atalanta on Monday. The tournament debutants weren't given any chance whatsoever against the reigning European champions but 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha achieved instant cult status throughout the footballing world by making one save after another to keep La Roja at bay.

Barcelona love an entertaining playmaker - having seen Diego Maradona, Ronaldinho and Lionel Messi grace their books - and Frank Leboeuf has told GOAL that Rayan Cherki could go on to forge an “insane” attack alongside Lamine Yamal at Camp Nou. The French midfielder is currently starring for Manchester City, but a future switch to La Liga cannot be ruled out.
