Spain's De la Fuente in disbelief as Yamal continues scoring streak - ESPN
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente says Lamine Yamal is on the path to becoming a legend after being left stunned by the teenager's latest goal in Saturday's 3-1 UEFA Nations League win over Czechia.
Yamal, 19, opened the scoring in the sixth minute with a trademark goal, coming inside on his left foot and whipping the ball into the top corner as Spain moved three points clear of England at the top of Group A3.
On the sideline, de la Fuente put both hands on his head after witnessing the strike, turning to his bench in disbelief.

«Lamine never stops surprising us — all of us,» de la Fuente said in a news conference after the victory when asked about his reaction to the goal.
«He has so much talent and so much quality. He still has a lot to offer us, too, and there is a long way to go to until we see the best Lamine, even if he is making giant strikes all the time.»
Yamal has been in dazzling form for Spain in the international break, scoring four goals in three games as the World Cup winners have opened their Nations League campaign with three victories.
It is the first time the teenager has scored in three straight games for Spain. His 19 goal contributions, as well as his 12 goals, for club and country since Aug. 31 are most in that span by any player from a club in Europe's top five leagues.
The Barcelona winger's goal against Czechia continued a run of scoring early, too, after netting in the second minute against both England and Croatia over the past week.
His recent form has only enhanced his claim to be named the best
