Teenagers Who Have Featured in the World Cup Final as Jamal Musiala Looks to Write More History
Other notable teenagers who have appeared in the World Cup final include Giuseppe Bergomi's Italian teammate, Gianluca Vialli's predecessor, Giacinto Facchetti, who was 19 when Italy finished as runners-up in 1970. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland's Norman Whiteside holds the record for being the youngest player to appear in the World Cup, having played against Yugoslavia in 1982 at the age of 17. Whiteside also featured in the 1986 World Cup, becoming one of the few teenagers to have played in two World Cup tournaments. As Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi prepare to take to the pitch on Sunday, they will be hoping to draw inspiration from these young footballers who have made a name for themselves on the biggest stage in international football. With their talent and determination, they could become the latest additions to this impressive list of teenagers who have left their mark on the World Cup.
