Keyne sprinted across the field after the final whistle and leaped into the teenage star’s arms, creating one of the tournament’s most memorable celebrations.
Of all the images to come out of Spain’s World Cup triumph on Sunday, the one traveling fastest has nothing to do with the trophy. It’s a 3-year-old in a red jersey sprinting across the pitch and leaping into his big brother’s arms.
That was Keyne, the youngest sibling of 19-year-old Lamine Yamal, who reached the field at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford after Spain’s win over Argentina. PEOPLE reported that footage shared by FOX Sports captured the toddler clapping and racing toward Yamal while clutching a piece of the World Cup goal net as a souvenir, before the teenager scooped him up in a hug.
