In a confident message, the Barcelona phenom stated his birthday wish. He said:

Yamal turns 19 on Monday, July 13, just one day before La Roja faces Kylian Mbappe and a formidable French side at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

The clash pits two European powerhouses against each other, with the winner advancing to the World Cup final. France enters the match unbeaten, while Spain will look to Yamal’s creativity and flair on the wing to unlock the French defense.
Fans have reacted enthusiastically to Yamal’s bold statement, viewing it as typical of the fearless young player who has already made history with his performances at senior level. Whether his wish comes true remains to be seen on Tuesday, but one thing is certain: the world will be watching.
