Tunkara’s impact highlights his potential as a key talent for both Barcelona and Spain’s youth teams on the international stage.

Ebrima Tunkara, one of Barcelona’s brightest prospects, made his mark with Spain's under-17 national team. Starting in the Euro qualifier match against Scotland, the 16-year-old midfielder scored the opening goal with a precise left-footed strike.

Beyond his goal, Tunkara played a significant role in setting up a second goal by his Barcelona teammate Roberto Tomas. Two other Barça talents, Raul Exposito and Sergi Mayans, also featured in the Spain U17 squad.

Spain secured a 3-0 win over Scotland, their second straight victory in the group, placing them at the top with maximum points. The team will face Turkey next, needing only a draw to qualify. Building on his strong performance, Tunkara aims to contribute again in upcoming matches.

Tunkara’s performances for Spain's youth sides underline his promising future and growing importance to both his national team and Barcelona’s academy, reinforcing hopes for his continued development at the professional level.
