Spanish 16-year-old Lamine Yamal makes European Championship history in 3-0 win over Croatia

Spain 's Lamine Yamal is the youngest player to appear in the men's European Championship , helping his side defeat Croatia 3-0. Lamine Yamal has become the youngest player to appear in the men's European Championship , as Spain 's new generation brushed aside Croatia 's challenge 3-0 in their opening match.

"We have to stay wary, stay calm and be proud. We have to keep improving in the next game," Spain coach Luis De La Fuente said.It's been three years since the last men's European Championship, with Italy defeating England in a controversial final.

Croatia star Luka Modrić, who played at Euro 2008 before Yamal was even born, was unable to assert his usual influence. "They played for an hour and we realised we have two difficult matches in front of us. We didn't want to force them to the end," Dalić said.Croatia next plays Albania in Hamburg on Wednesday night, Australian time, while Spain faces Italy in Gelsenkirchen on Friday morning, Australian time.
