Barcelona's teenage sensation Lamine Yamal sent social media into meltdown after perfectly recreating Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic World Cup celebration during Spain's recent match.
The Moment That Went Viral
The 16-year-old prodigy scored a spectacular goal before striking Ronaldo's famous 'Siuuu' pose, complete with mid-air pirouette and chest-out landing. The celebration, immortalized by Ronaldo during the 2018 World Cup, has become one of football's most recognizable trademarks.
Yamal's Rapid Rise
Yamal, who became Barcelona's youngest ever goalscorer last season, continues to break records at international level. His latest performance suggests the teenager isn't just following in Ronaldo's celebratory footsteps, but potentially his legendary career path too.
Social Media Erupts
Football fans flooded platforms with side-by-side comparisons of the celebrations. Many noted the uncanny similarity, while others debated whether Yamal's version showed more youthful exuberance than Ronaldo's original.
The celebration adds another chapter to Yamal's fairytale start to senior football. With Barcelona and Spain both building their attacks around their new wonderkid, this likely won't be the last time we see his tribute to the Portuguese superstar.
