Spain is crowned world champion and consecrates Lamine Yamal. The Barcelona winger, at 19 years and 6 days old, enters history as the third youngest winner of the world tournament ever. Ahead of him are only two legendary names, one of whom wore the black and blue jersey.
At the top of the ranking remains Pelé, who won the title in 1958 at 17 years and 249 days old, as an absolute protagonist: the Brazilian led his Brazil to victory, also scoring two goals in the final won 5-2 against Sweden.
In second place is Giuseppe Bergomi, world champion in 1982 at 18 years and 201 days old. He too regularly played the final from the start. Yamal thus completes an elite podium, entering a very exclusive club in world football.
