Lamine Yamal was extremely confident ahead of the Nations League final against Portugal. The young player even sent a message challenging C. Ronaldo. However, the Spanish football prodigy had a disappointing match.

Yamal was completely lost to the "care" of Portuguese left-back Nuno Mendes. In this match, Yamal only had 2 shots on target and had 1 assist. Whoscored only gave the 2007-born star a score of 7.23. This is the average score compared to the players on the field.
Yamal was even overshadowed by veteran C. Ronaldo. The number 7 superstar contributed the equalizer 2-2, creating the premise to help Portugal win the penalty shootout later and become the champion.
After the match, Yamal also had controversial actions during the award ceremony. Specifically, when C. Ronaldo lifted the championship trophy, the entire Spanish team stood and watched solemnly, some even applauded. However, Yamal clearly showed his disappointment. He took off his medal, went straight into the tunnel and did not participate in the award ceremony.
This has sparked mixed opinions from the online community. Many people believe that Yamal needs to learn to respect his opponents in order to become a great player in the future. They emphasize that this is a bad attitude of a loser.
“I am really worried about Yamal’s arrogance,” one person wrote on Twitter. “He needs to grow up when he loses.” Another wrote: “He is just a kid and needs to learn how to behave when he loses.”

Another account expressed: “This is the behavior of a 17-year-old boy. After all, no matter how talented he is, he is still just a child.”
A fourth wrote: "Yamal needs to be punished for disrespecting his opponent. Not only did he go into the tunnel but he also took off his medal."
A fifth person commented: "Please forgive Yamal. He is only 17 years old."
C. Ronaldo did not blame Yamal. Instead, the Portuguese superstar still gave his juniors praise after the match. CR7 said: “I believe that Yamal will win many titles in the future. He is a phenomenon in the football world. Yamal's career is still very long. I believe that this boy will win many Nations League titles in the coming years.”
This is the first time Yamal has lost in a final in his career. Therefore, many people believe that this player needs to hone his skills, especially when he fails, in order to grow in his career.
