And during the game, the Barcelona academy graduate collected a new achievement, one he shares with five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.
Yamal matches Ronaldo's record
20 years ago—four earth trips around the sun before Yamal was born—Ronaldo took the world by storm at the European Championships.
Aged 19, the ex-Real Madrid star took the world by storm at the 2004 edition of the competition, scoring twice and assisting twice in a sensational campaign where Portugal were losing finalists.

Since Ronaldo's exploits on home soil in 2004, no other teenager had registered two assists at the Euros until the 51st minute of Spain's 4-1 drubbing of Georgia tonight.
Yamal floated a cross to the back post, and PSG’s Fabian Ruiz gracefully headed past Giorgi Mamardashvili to put Spain 2-1 up. That assist was the Barcelona star’s second of the competition, after setting up Dani Carvajal in the first game.
Meanwhile, Spain wrapping up the game early meant they did not have to worry about taking Yamal off early to avoid breaching German laws.
