The photo says it all: 23 years between the two finalists of a major tournament.
And no, it’s not just a tribute to Cristiano’s longevity and Lamine Yamal’s prodigious brilliance. That’s too easy. These two are phenomena — living proof of what modern sport has become.
23 years apart, yet they met on the same pitch, in the same final.
That age gap is a symbol:
— of cutting-edge sports science, recovery, nutrition
— of elite physical coaching that keeps Ronaldo performing at 40
— of youth development so advanced that 16-year-olds like Yamal show up ready to dominate
It’s the meeting of two extremes: the perfected veteran and the accelerated prodigy.
And it’s magic. Honestly, the Nations League was worth inventing just for this moment.
