MATARO: Every time Lamine Yamal scores, he holds up his fingers to sign the numbers 304 – the postcode of Rocafonda, the modest Catalan district where he grew up, which is bursting with pride over the 16-year-old’s success in Euro 2024.

It’s not yet midday but there is a real buzz inside the local bar, El Cordobes, which is still reeling with excitement after Yamal, who used to come in with his dad, clutching a football, shot home the sublime goal against France that helped propel Spain to tomorrow’s Euro 2024 final.
