Keyne, the younger brother of Lamine Yamal, has become the most viral figure of the Spanish National Team at the World Cup following his celebrations. A gesture agreed upon the day before sparked laughter from the player during the match against Belgium.
Keyne, Lamine Yamal's brother, has once again been the centre of attention during the celebration of Spain's victory over Belgium (2-1) in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. The little one, who became famous during the last Euro, did not stop making gestures and dancing throughout the match, and in the end, the television broadcast focused on him on the giant screens of SoFi Stadium. Lamine, seeing him, could not contain his laughter.
The gesture that made Lamine laugh
Lamine Yamal himself explained in the mixed zone the origin of the joke: "Yesterday I was at the physio and he called me from my mother's phone, and he said he was going to stick out his tongue. That's why when I saw him on screen it made me laugh a lot." Keyne kept his promise and, in the midst of the euphoria, stuck out his tongue while celebrating, causing his brother, who saw it from the pitch, to burst into laughter.
This is not the first time Keyne has become the protagonist. Already in the round of 16, against Austria, his shout of "Let's go!" went viral. Now, in the quarter-finals, he has once again shown that his charisma is unstoppable. Spanish fans already consider him a talisman: every time he appears, La Roja wins.
A viral phenomenon in the stands
Social media has been filled with videos and memes of Keyne. Many users highlight his energy and his ability to spread joy in the tensest moments. "He is the life of the party," commented a follower on X. Others compare him to the famous 'World Cup kid' from Brazil 2014, although Keyne has an advantage: he is the brother of one of the team's stars.
The Spanish National Team has achieved a historic milestone by reaching the World Cup semifinals for the second time in its history. The last time was in 2010, when they won the title. Now, with Keyne cheering from the stands, the fans dream of repeating the feat. The next match will be against the winner of the clash between Argentina and Portugal.
For the residents of the Community of Madrid, where Lamine Yamal grew up in Rocafonda (Mataró), but many still consider their own, the figure of the footballer and his brother has become a source of pride. In the bars and clubs of the region, celebrations have multiplied, and it is not uncommon to hear: "This kid is going to give us the World Cup!"
The next semifinal match will take place on Tuesday, July 14 at 21:00 Spanish time. Fans will be able to follow the match live on RTVE. And, of course, everyone will be watching the stands to see what new antics Keyne has in store.
