England fans have even argued that Spanish supernova Lamine Yamal should be restricted from participating.

Britain's The Sun reported on the 13th (Korea time) 'Ramin Yamal should be banned from competing in the final under German labor law'

England is set for the Euro 2024 final against Spain on the 15th. England, which has advanced to the final for the second time in a row following the last tournament, is desperate to win for the first time ever, and England captain Harry Kane's colleague Son Heung-min also recently delivered an open message of support and hope that Kane would win.

However, England's opponent Spain is also a team that has already shown its potential in the tournament. In particular, the harmony between rookie and veteran players is excellent.

Among them, striker Yamal, born in 2007, is considered Barcelona's new hope. Yamal has swept various youngest records and has shown tremendous performance in Barcelona's first team even at a young age. Barcelona also used Yamal at a young age and used him on important stages.

The same was true of the Spanish national team. Yamal, who has already joined the senior national team since September last year, has also joined the final list of Euro 2024 and is active as a starting member. Yamal, who started in the first Group B match of Euro 2024 against Croatia, achieved the youngest Euro appearance (16 years and 338 days) and helped his team score their third goal, breaking the record of the youngest attacking point of the tournament.

In the last semifinal match between Spain and France, he even scored directly, setting a record for the youngest score (16 years and 362 days) in Euro history. The excellent dribbling, vision, and sharp kick in each game combined with mature play that did not suit his age, which impressed fans.

In this situation, English fans have also argued that Yamal's participation cannot take place more than full-time. Under German labour law, players under the age of 18 cannot work after 11pm on Sunday, and Spain must exclude him as a replacement if the game does not end within regular time. Otherwise, you will have to pay a fine of 30,000 euros (about 50 million won)."

The basis for England fans' claims was German law. Germany is not legally allowed for teenagers under the age of 18 to work after 8 p.m. According to the news, players are allowed to do this until 11 p.m., but it is true that it is also tight because it is 11 p.m., including both personal maintenance and later interview work.

Therefore, he argued that there is a possibility of breaking the law if Yamal plays full-time and goes to extra time in the final match, which starts at 9 p.m. local.

However, as for the claim, some have already argued that the law will not apply to Yamal's case, Yamal's participation is unlikely to be a big problem. Some British media said it would be surprising for German authorities to take action against Spain, given that Yamal's situation was not harmed.

What kind of performance 17-year-old Yamal will show against England, which is trying to win the Euro for the first time in history, is also expected to be a great expectation for fans.
