FC Barcelona prodigy, Lamine Yamal, reportedly aced his exams while representing Spain at the 2024 UEFA European Championship.

The 16-year-old sensation, who has been a standout performer in the ongoing tournament, had earlier disclosed that he diligently manages his school responsibilities alongside his football commitments in Germany.

Balancing his burgeoning football career with education, Yamal burst onto the scene as a prodigious talent at Barca last year.

Since his debut for the senior team against Real Betis, he has swiftly risen to prominence as one of the premier young wingers in world football.

His scintillating club form has seamlessly translated to the international stage, where his debut against Croatia marked him as the youngest-ever player in Euro history.

Despite the spotlight of the tournament, the teenage sensation has admirably maintained a perfect harmony between excelling on the pitch and staying committed to his academic pursuits.

Lamine Yamal passes relevant exams

According to journalist Helena Condis Edo (via EuroFoot) from the Spanish publication COPE, Lamine has successfully passed his relevant school exams.

Should Spain reach the tournament final, reports indicate that Yamal will have to delay his return to school until after the summer break.

How does he study?

Shedding light on how he is balancing school with football at a major tournament like the Euros, Lamine said, as quoted by GOAL:

"How many hours do I study? Well, since we have a lot of free time, it's not something that I put in and say: 'Today at least two hours', when I'm in the room with nothing to do, I take the iPad and do a couple of homework."

What's next for Lamine Yamal?

The young forward will return to play on June 30 as Luis De la Fuente's Spain faces surprise contender Georgia in the Round of 16. Spain aims to secure a record fourth Euros title.

After contributing significantly to victories over Croatia and Italy, he rested during La Roja's last group match against Albania.
