Pedri Stunned by Yamal's Wonderstrike as Spain Edge France
Despite watching from the sidelines due to a knee injury sustained earlier in the tournament, young midfielder Pedri remained deeply invested in Spain's Euro 2024 semi-final clash against France.
Cameras captured a now-viral moment of his stunned reaction on the bench as teammate Lamine Yamal unleashed a powerful shot to equalize for Spain.
Pedri's injury, an internal lateral sprain suffered during a challenge in the quarter-final against Germany, unfortunately ruled him out of the crucial match against France. Pedri's recovery timeline is expected to take up to a month and a half, putting his participation in the upcoming La Liga season in doubt.
However, his support for his teammates was unwavering. When Yamal unleashed a stunning strike from outside the box in the 21st minute, canceling out France's early lead, Pedri's expression perfectly captured the astonishment felt by everyone who witnessed the goal. Wide-eyed with disbelief and his hands raised in celebration, the image became a symbol of both the brilliance of Yamal's strike and the unwavering spirit within the Spanish squad.
Spain went on to win the match 2-1, with Dani Olmo netting the winning goal in the 75th minute. They now progress to the Euro 2024 final, where they will hope to claim their first European title since 2012.
