Spain forward Lamine Yamal has revealed that France captain Kylian Mbappe asked to swap shirts with him after the semi-final, which Spain won 2-1, as well as Italy forward Federico Chiesa, who they met in the group stage, Marca reported on Saturday.  ( superwin636 )

‘Mbappe asked me about it, the kit manager in the dressing room asked on his behalf and Chiesa’s after the Italy game. If Mbappe asks for it, I will give it to him without any problem. I don’t know how many shirts I have. When we beat France, I was thinking about the final. You get so excited you can’t remember,’ said Yamal.

Yamal turns 17 on Saturday ahead of Sunday’s Euro 2024 final against England, which could be the first major honour for his professional career.

When asked about comparisons between himself and Barcelona legend Lionel Messi, the 17-year-old forward tried to play it down.

‘I try to be Lamine. I try to make people remember me by myself. At the end of the day, comparing yourself to the best players in history doesn’t help you because I’ll never be like them. I try to be myself so people remember me as Lamine Yamal. That’s all.’
