Adorable 🥹❤️ Lamine Yamal only wanted to celebrate World Cup glory with one person: his 3-year-old brother Keyne.

The Spanish star’s younger sibling has stolen the show this tournament, featuring on the big screen at every game cheering on Spain.

On the pitch at full-time, he was having an absolute ball taking it all in 🥰

The way Lamine talks about Keyne is just as beautiful as you’d expect 🗣️👇

“I came from an apartment where the kitchen and bedroom were in the same place…

“[Now,] I see my mother happy, I see that my brother can have the childhood I would have wanted, and that’s what makes me happiest.”

“I’m moved when I see my little brother this happy, as well as seeing my mum and friends living the life they always dreamed of,”

“My little brother means everything to me. I am in love with him; it feels like he is my son.”

@ashhh01 It is the worst. Have been back at work 2 weeks and after getting food poisoning on the last couple of days of my stopover in Fiji am completely drained 🤣

[Shaun Dyas @Shaunnyboy85]

@Kimbo_Ramplin They are far too good

@NewyBeachBum The King is a service dog obviously so he can be snuck into the movies 😍😍

[Shaun Dyas @Shaunnyboy85]

@NewyBeachBum It is the King's bed 🤣 He just lets you sleep in it 🤣

@Kimbo_Ramplin Thankfully it is only once a week. Haha

[Shaun Dyas @Shaunnyboy85]

@Kimbo_Ramplin Keeping up with all the sports going at the moment has been impossible. Im sticking with the world cup, Le Tour and Swans scores. Haha

[Shaun Dyas @Shaunnyboy85]

@Kimbo_Ramplin Haha completely understandable. It does start to get tiring this late into the tournament. As I was over there, it was much easoer to watch other games with them all kicking off between midday and 9pm generally

[Shaun Dyas @Shaunnyboy85]

@Kimbo_Ramplin I finish working at midnight tonight which means the Argy game lines up well for me. I will do the night shift and handover the morning shift to you. Haha

We’ve all seen the way that Australia came together in 05 against Uruguay, voted our greatest ever sporting moment.

In 06, in Germany.

In 2022, Round of 16 against Messi.

In 2023, with the home World Cup, over 11 million Aussies watching the quarter final.

And now, again, the Socceroos captivating the nation in 2026.

Bringing us all together.

Something we need more than ever.

@AlboMP must surely have gotten it, by now.

An investment in Australian football achievement, is an investment in Australia itself.

Over to you.
