That was Marca's - Spain's biggest sports newspaper - headline above a picture of the precocious talents that are Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal before the country's Group B win against the current European champions.

With a combined age of 37 - Williams turns 22 on 12 July this year, Yamal will be 17 a day later, the day before the Euro final - the two wingers represent the brightest of futures to Spain's footballing fortunes.

Before Sunday’s last-16 tie against Georgia (20:00 BST), they are seen as a duo that can take the country to a potential greatness not seen since they won the Euros in 2008 and 2012 respectively.

They have become great friends, with Williams looking after the teenager - inspired by how his older brother Inaki looked after him in their younger days.
