WORLD CUP | Yamal Extends Record Over Mbappe After Spain Triumph

Lamine Yamal has extended his head-to-head record over Kylian Mbappe to nine wins against two after Spain's FIFA World Cup triumph over France, according to Yahoo Sports. The rivalry began in April 2024 when Barcelona faced Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-finals, with Mbappe's PSG progressing. Since then, Yamal has frequently emerged victorious in knockout matches and finals, including the World Cup meeting where his pressing forced the mistake that led to Spain's opening goal.
