Nico Williams was born in Pamplona to Ghanaian parents who made the grueling Sahara crossing for a new life in Spain. Nico stars with his older brother Inaki for Athletic Bilbao in La Liga, where together they helped break Bilbao's trophy drought by winning the Copa del Rey last season.
Yamal's parents hail from Equatorial Guinea and Morocco. The Barcelona man is already the youngest ever player to feature at the Euros, and capped it off by becoming the youngest ever scorer, with his wonder strike sinking France in the semi-final.
Spanish fans are enthusiastic about Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams, with replica jerseys bearing their names being prevalent at Spain games. Their electrifying presence on the pitch has impressed supporters from various corners of the globe.
"Nico Williams is an elite baller, best winger in the world," said a Spain supporter, underlining the high praise and expectations placed on the talented player in the Euro 2024 tournament.
