Yamal Says His Movement Helped Create Spain’s World Cup-Winning Goal
Lamine Yamal says his off-the-ball movement helped create the space for Ferran Torres to score Spain’s extra-time winner against Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final. Spain won 1-0 at MetLife Stadium after Torres converted Pedro Porro’s cut-back in the 106th minute. Yamal did not register an official assist, but said he drew defenders away and allowed Porro room to deliver the cross. The Barcelona forward finished the tournament with one goal and one assist in seven matches. He said his contribution should not be judged by statistics alone as he continues to make his case for the 2026 Ballon d’Or.
