Summary
Footage of Kenye Yamal celebrating Spain's 1-0 extra-time win over Argentina turned the three-year-old into an online sensation after Sunday's World Cup final.
The clips showed Lamine Yamal's younger brother cheering wildly from the sidelines, sticking out his tongue on the big screen and reveling in the post-match confetti.
Spain sealed its second World Cup with a 106th-minute goal, while 19-year-old Lamine Yamal became the youngest player to win both the European Championship and the World Cup.
The final also framed a generational handover: Yamal faced Lionel Messi, 39, for the first time in a World Cup final before the two embraced after Spain's victory.
