Lamine Yamal ruthlessly aimed not one but TWO digs at Adrien Rabiot following his full-time taunt after Spain beat France at Euro 2024.
Yamal produced a moment of magic as he curled home a stunning strike to cancel out Randal Kolo Muani's opener.
Dani Olmo, who has an incredibly low release clause, grabbed his side's winner just four minutes later.

After the final whistle, Yamal took aim at Rabiot with a brutal taunt following the Frenchman's pre-match comments.
The 16-year-old sensation continued to savage Rabiot following their semi-final clash.
Speaking at a post-match press conference, he was asked to clarify his celebration to which he replied: "My celebration? It was for the person who knows it is for him.
"I am very happy for the victory and for helping the team, which is in the final. In the end we should not give importance to any of that. I have helped to the team."

Rabiot wasn't safe from Yamal on social media either.
The Barcelona starlet, who had shared a message on social media before the match, referenced his original post when he took to Instagram after inspiring Spain to the final.
"Check mate," he wrote, accompanied with an image of himself celebrating his wondergoal.

The teenager not only has the ability but the mentality at the highest level of the sport.
He made history with his goal as he became the youngest scorer in Euros history.
Yamal's performance was praised by fans and critics alike, with Alan Shearer hailing the star winger's showing in Munich.
"Just incredible," he said on the BBC.

"We've been talking about him this tournament and seeing him at 16, to come and perform at this level, under this scrutiny, and then to do that, just outrageous. I mean, he shouldn't even be up that late!"
