Ilkay Gundogan’s teammate at Barca – Lamine Yamal will be the nаme that the German team must pay close attention to in the EURO 2024 quarter-final against Spain.

Ilkay Gundogan rates Lamine Yamal highly

Germany and Spain will face off in the quarter-finals of EURO 2024, and fans are calling it the “early final” of this year’s tournament. Both sides have quality names and both sides are cautious ahead of the match.

With Ilkay Gundogan, Lamine Yamal is the most notable player on the Spanish side. ARD channel quoted the German captain’s statement: “I think there is no reason why Germany should be underestimated compared to Spain in the quarter-finals.

We have quality people. I also believe that the Spanish people appreciate us more than they share in public opinion.

Lamine Yamal has high expectations

Lamine Yamal is a special player, although he still has a lot to improve. If we lose the ball too quickly in the next game, Lamine Yamal will cause problems for Germany with his excellent transition.”

Sharing the same opinion with Gundogan, Leroy Sane also highly appreciated Yamal: “Watching him play, I always wonder why there are young players who play so well. I really enjoy watching Yamal and hope he can continue to perform like that.”

Gundogan also said that the decisive factor for the success or failure of both teams in the upcoming match will be their ability to handle the ball without it. The midfielder said: ” Each team must do well even without the ball, this is very important in the upcoming match.”

Up to this point, Spain and Germany are considered to have the most convincing performances among the “big guys”. Of which, Spain has won all matches and only conceded 1 goal, the best achievement up to this point.
