Spanish footballer Lamine Yamal’s younger brother, a charming three-year-old, captured attention with his enthusiastic celebration during Spain’s triumph at the World Cup against Austria. The 2010 champions secured a spot in the last 16 with a convincing 3-0 victory in Los Angeles, courtesy of goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro.
Although Yamal, 18, didn’t score in the match, he posed a constant threat on the field. However, it was his little brother, Keyne, who won over global football fans with his spirited support from the stands.
A video of the youngster celebrating Spain’s third goal went viral, with fans adoring his energetic “Vamos!” chant.
In response to the video, fans expressed admiration for the brotherly bond and Keyne’s passionate involvement in the celebration.
After the game, Yamal, who plays for Barcelona, shared his emotional reaction to seeing his brother revel in the moment, describing him as a son-like figure.
Yamal and his Barcelona teammate Pau Cubarsí, 19, made history by becoming the first teenage duo to start a World Cup knockout match together since Brazil’s Pelé and José Altafini achieved the feat in 1958.
Yamal has already left his mark on the tournament by scoring in Spain’s previous 4-0 win against Saudi Arabia. His performances have garnered praise from football figures like Eden Hazard, who sees similarities between himself at a young age and Yamal’s current form.
Hazard emphasized the importance of enjoyment and captivating play in football, expressing confidence in Yamal’s potential to excel at the World Cup and inspire fans around the globe.
