VIDEO: Footage emerges of Lamine Yamal refusing to stand & applaud Cristiano Ronaldo & Co. during trophy lift after Spain's Nations League defeat to Portugal as Barcelona wonderkid walks away

<p>The 17-year-old wonderkid endured a frustrating evening at the Allianz Arena in Munich as Spain surrendered the continental crown that they picked up in 2023. Yamal was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/portugal-player-ratings-spain-cristiano-ronaldo-delivers-again-nuno-mendes-lamine-yamal-diogo-costa-heroics-nations-league-final-victory/blt98783aec76680f62" target="_blank">kept quiet by Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League-winning full-back Nuno Mendes</a>.</p>

WATCH THE CLIP

<p>Having struggled to provide an attacking spark, Yamal was replaced during the extra-time interval - much to his disgust. That decision kept him stuck on the sidelines for a nerve-shredding penalty shootout, as Alvaro Morata missed from the spot and Portugal converted all five of their efforts.</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">LAMINE YAMAL EXPLODES AFTER BEING SUBBED OFF!😡🚨<br><br>This was the Spanish player’s reaction after being taken out by Luis de la Fuente—he threw his bottle and clearly showed his frustration with the decision!❌<br><br>What could’ve happened if he had stayed on the pitch?🤔<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LamineYamal?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LamineYamal</a> <a href="https://t.co/IkkHGPsBgj">pic.twitter.com/IkkHGPsBgj</a></p>— MARCA in English 🇺🇸 (@MARCAinENGLISH) <a href="https://twitter.com/MARCAinENGLISH/status/1931835136439427312?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 8, 2025</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ronaldo, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/video-portugal-cristiano-ronaldo-tears-nations-league-title-penalty-shootout-spain/blt26ced63615b6f26a" target="_blank">broke down in tears as his country prevailed</a>, was also on the bench when an epic encounter came to a close - <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-never-fit-cr7-injury-revelation-portugal-uefa-nations-league-final-spain-broken-leg/blt3cb5f971baf092d6" target="_blank">having picked up an untimely injury.</a> He was, however, able to get his hands on major silverware.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Spain’s squad sportingly stuck around to applaud Ronaldo and Co. as they enjoyed wild celebrations, but Barcelona forward Yamal was in no mood to watch rivals revel in trophy glory and made a quick beeline for the dressing room - removing his runners-up medal in the process.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>Yamal has enjoyed a memorable 2024-25 campaign, picking up three major honours at club level, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ballon-dor-2025-power-rankings/bltd009fae5576d751f" target="_blank">may miss out on Ballon d’Or glory</a> - at least for now - after seeing five-time Golden Ball winner Ronaldo beat him to the UEFA Nations League crown.
