Luke Littler sends bizarre message to Lamine Yamal after Spain star becomes youngest ever European Championship scorer

LUKE LITTLER has sent a cheeky message to Spain hero Lamine Yamal – suggesting the darts ace is still The Chosen One for young talent.

Littler, 17, broke all sorts of records in reaching the World Championship final at 16 – the age at which Yamal has become the youngest scorer in Euros history.

And the oche ace appears to reckon being the Nuke kid on the block is better than being Lamine the new teen machine.

Littler posted a mocked-up pic of himself in heavenly garb with Yamal below him in a blue sky.

Both are smiling as Euro 2024 semi-final hero Yamal asks via a speech bubble: “How am I doing boss?”

Littler beams back: “You’re doing a great job son… a great job!”

Fans revelled in the intervention from the Premier League Darts champ.

 “Top class this!” said one as Littler hit the banter bullseye.

Similar responses included: “Love that Luke” and “That’s unreal”.

“World class tweet” and “Hahahahah class” were other pieces of praises pinged in.

Meanwhile, some fans compared Littler’s achievements to those of Barcelona propsect Yamal.

Some clearly believe arrowing in consistently from seven feet is better than arrowing one in from 25 yards to book a place in a major final.

England or the Netherlands await Spain after their 2-1 comeback defeat of France.

One fan posted: “9 darter still clear.”

But with both starlets having achieved so much so young, few would disagree with one verdict.

Alongside an emoji of the two men shaking hands to show respect, the post added: “16 year old Prodigies.”
