Spain secured their place in the World Cup last 16 with a 3-0 victory over Austria in Los Angeles, but it was not Lamine Yamal who captured the spotlight. Instead, his three-year-old brother, Keyne, became an unlikely viral sensation with an adorable celebration from the stands.
Keyne's Passionate 'Vamos!' Wins Over Fans
A clip of Keyne enthusiastically shouting 'Vamos!' after Spain's third goal has amassed thousands of views online. Fans were charmed by his energy and passion. One commented, 'Such a big fan of his brother.' Another wrote, 'It's the most Spanish ''vamos'' I've ever seen.' A third added, 'Love how into it the little man is.' One fan joked, 'Lil bro put everything he had into that ''vamos.'' '
Yamal's Emotional Reaction
After the match, Yamal, 18, admitted feeling emotional seeing his brother happy. He said, 'I feel emotional to see my brother happy. My mum is also happy with the life she always wanted. I love this. I am in love with my brother. He's like a son to me.'
Historic Milestone for Yamal and Cubarsí
The match also saw Yamal and Barcelona teammate Pau Cubarsí, 19, make history as the first teenagers to start a World Cup knockout match together since Brazil's Pelé and José Altafini in 1958.
Yamal's Tournament Impact
Yamal has already scored in the tournament, netting in Spain's 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia. He has earned praise from former Chelsea star Eden Hazard, who told Stake, 'He reminds me a bit of when I started playing. I was around the same age and everyone expected a lot from me. But in the end, if he enjoys himself on the pitch the way he knows how to, I can definitely see him having a great World Cup. He's the kind of player people love to watch. That's what football is all about, you have to enjoy yourself and make people dream.'
