'Speak now': Lamine Yamal responds to Adrien Rabiot after Spain win

Lamine Yamal scored one of the best goals of Euro 2024 in Spain's 2-1 win over France, then responded to one of his doubters post game -- Adrien Rabiot.

Prior to the semifinal matchup, the French midfielder was asked if the stage would be too big for the 16-year-old Spanish star.

"Obviously it could be difficult for him to deal with a semifinal in a big tournament," Rabiot said. "It's up to us to put pressure on him and to take him out of his comfort zone. And to reach a final at the Euros, he needs to do more than he's done up until now."

Yamal, who entered Tuesday's match with a tournament-high 3 assists, took notice of Rabiot's comments.

He posted a message on his Instagram story before the game that read: "Move in silence, only speak when it's time to say checkmate." After Spain eliminated France, he made good on the message, exclaiming, "Speak now."

The moment came after a game in which Yamal scored a wonder goal in the first half as he was defended by Rabiot.

The strike made Yamal the youngest player ever to score at a men's European Championship. His performance also led to him becoming the youngest player to win a Man of the Match award in a UEFA game.

Spain will take on the winner of England and Netherlands in the Euro 2024 final Sunday.
