The 'genius' Yamal and the all-time classic, why Spain is the favorite

Spain is entering a golden phase of its football, and many experts believe it is one of the main favorites to win the next World Cup. Two factors are strongly influencing this optimism: the extraordinary talent of teenager Lamine Yamal and the return of the classic Spanish style that once dominated the world.

Lamine Yamal, the 16-year-old wonder

Not yet 17, Yamal has already wowed the world with his performances for Barcelona and the Spanish national team. With a calmness that belies his age, he combines technique, vision and a dose of magic that reminds many fans of the glory days of Iniesta and Xavi.

Yamal is not just a young talent, he is a "genius" in the making, a footballer who changes the dynamics of a match with a single touch.

Classic style, with a modern spirit

Spain has returned to tiki-taka, but with a more vertical and faster dimension. The national team led by the current coach is combining ball possession with efficiency in front of goal - a mix that is yielding the best results.

In midfield and defense, Spain has the perfect balance between experience and young generation, creating a team with depth, tactical discipline and passion.

Talents like Yamal, Gavi, Pedri, and a generation that is not afraid to take responsibility.

The return of identity – a dominant and intelligent football.

Cohesion and experience – many of the players have been together since U17 and U21, which brings harmony to the group.
