Spain's Lamine Yamal is BARRED from playing in extra time at Euro 2024 final vs England

<p>German laws prohibit Under-18s from working past 11pm on a Sunday, meaning Lamal will be breaking some serious rules should he still be on the pitch for an extra 30 minutes. <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/29189040/spain-lamine-yamal-banned-euros-final/" target="_blank">The Sun</a> reveal Spain would either have to sub the young star or face a €30,000 (£25k/$32k) fine.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>It may go against the code, but Spain will likely take the risk when it comes to keeping Yamal on the pitch. The Barcelona youngster has<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/wayne-rooney-lamine-yamal-nico-williams-england-cristiano-ronaldo-euro-2024-final/blt4512001677307179" target="_blank"> been one of La Roja's best players</a> at Euro 2024 and scored a magnificent goal in the semi-final. A €30k fine will be the least of their concerns should they win in Berlin. Indeed, lawyer Jonas Warnken said a fine is unlikely to be issued.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Yamal is now the youngest player to appear at the finals of the European Championship. As well as this, the 17-year-old is also the youngest scorer in the knockout rounds. He will be looking to create more history in the final, perhaps with a winner.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Yamal will be looking to show up on the biggest stage of them all when<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-lamine-yamal-what-spain-must-do-beat-england-euro-2024-final/bltd679f5aa4ad5d215" target="_blank"> Spain meet England on Sunday.</a> The winger will be looking to mark his 17th birthday will a special present for both himself and his nation in the German capital.</p>
