Lamine Yamal fires out warning to Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. ahead of Spain's Nations League showdown with Portugal

Yamal is currently preparing to take on Portugal in the Nations League final with Spain and seems in bullish mood. The 17-year-old has been in fine form over the last year as he led Spain to the European Championship in the summer of 2024 before helping Barcelona to a domestic treble. Through the last few games for the Spanish national team, Yamal has slowly become their main attacking threat, and he is not backing down on social media either.

On his Instagram story, Yamal posted a photo of himself celebrating with the caption: "BORN FOR THIS!!!"

Yamal is considered as one of the favourites to win the 2025 Ballon d'Or following his performances; however, the Spaniard is also facing stiff competition from PSG superstar Ousmane Dembele. Nonetheless, the 17-year-old is continuing to fight for the title with the hope that his showing in the Nations League could turn the tide.

The 17-year-old will be back in action later tonight at the Allianz Arena when Spain take on Portugal in the Nations League. Both sides have the opportunity to become the first nation with two Nations League titles to their name.
