Injured star on the sidelines couldn’t contain his amazement at his team-mate’s masterful moment
FANS were as stunned by crock Pedri’s reaction as they were by Lamine Yamal’s sensational goal in Spain’s comeback triumph.
Yamal’s long-range equaliser – making him the youngest ever Euros scorer at the age of 16 – sparked a 2-1 semi-final victory over France.

And viewers spotted the incredulous expression of injured Pedri on the sidelines as he joined Spanish celebrations of his Barcelona team-mate’s masterful moment.
Spain soon struck again as they turned a 1-0 deficit into an interval lead, before deservedly holding on for a place in Sunday’s final against England or the Netherlands.
Pedri puffed out his cheeks and and put his hands to his face with a wide-eyed look when Yamal ‘s thunderbolt went in.
Midfielder Pedri is out for the rest of the tournament following a fierce tackle from Germany’s Toni Kroos in the quarter-final.
But he looked as delighted as anyone by Yamal’s screamer.
And one viewer claimed: “Pedri’s reaction to Lamine Yamal’s goal is everyone’s reaction.”
A second posted: “Not gonna lie, that was quite the mood.”
And a third wrote: “Yamal is world class and should be in contention for Ballon D’or.”

The Barcelona wing starlet has made history in his 13th international.
No younger player has scored at the Euros EVER – and it must be a contender for the goal of the tournament.
Randal Kolo Muani had nipped in to drill France in front on eight minutes.
But midway through the opening period, Yamal cut in from the right, beat his man, and curved a fierce left-footer into the far top corner.
Dani Olmo’s deflected cross-shot soon provided Spain’s clincher.
However, Yamal’s incredible intervention lingered longest in the mind.
And Uefa’s official X account posted: “A moment that will last forever.”
