Offside? Lamine Yamal's Three-Year-Old Brother Wins Over Fans Again at the World Cup

The Barcelona winger hasn't been prolific in front of goal at the World Cup so far. His sole strike came in the group stage match against Saudi Arabia, which also marked his first start for Spain in the tournament. However, he played a crucial role in his team's semi-final victory over France.

It was precisely one of his plays that led to a pivotal moment in the game. When Lucas Digne mishandled a cross, Lamine Yamal immediately pounced on the ball, and the French defender subsequently fouled him. The referee awarded a penalty, which Spain calmly converted.

In the second half, right-back Pedro Porro extended the lead to 2-0, and shortly after, it appeared Luis de la Fuente's side had added another goal, seemingly from the 19-year-old's boot. However, the linesman flagged for offside, much to the surprise of Yamal's step-brother, Keyne.

Cameras captured the three-year-old boy covering his eyes with his hands after Lamine Yamal was denied his big World Cup moment.

Keyne, however, had already become an internet sensation. Fans worldwide have been charmed not only by funny behind-the-scenes videos but also by his loving relationship with his older brother.

He gained popularity among fans primarily due to his spontaneous and adorable reactions in the stands, where he often pulls various faces. Footage of him shouting: "Vamos!" after the victory over Austria also went viral on social media.

More such moments could soon follow, as Lamine Yamal faces another incredibly important match two years after the 2024 European Championship final. In New York, he will battle for the coveted trophy with the Spanish national team against the winner of the match between England and Argentina.
