Eighteen years old, and already the face of a champion team. Lamine Yamal arrives at the 2026 tournament as the headline act of a Spain side that won Euro 2024 and turned that night into something more durable than a trophy. Luis de la Fuente did not treat the triumph as a closing chapter; he built around it, holding to a 4-3-3 that asks Pedri to dictate tempo and, fitness permitting after his ACL recovery, Rodri to anchor everything from deep. Up front Álvaro Morata leads the line for a team most observers rate the most complete in the field. In Group H they meet Saudi Arabia, Uruguay and Cape Verde. The honest framing is blunt: a semi-final would count as the bare minimum, and lifting the cup is no fantasy.
