It is not unusual for Lamine Yamal to go viral on social media. Whether dazzling fans with skill on the pitch or appearing in light-hearted clips with his younger brother, the teenager has become one of football's most talked-about figures. Yet his latest spotlight moment had little to do with goals or assists.
On Monday night, the 19-year-old winger walked onstage to celebrate Spain's 1-0 World Cup victory over Argentina. The jubilant crowd in Madrid was in a celebratory mood and the national team basked in its triumph. But as the lights went off and the festivities wound down, clips of Yamal's onstage outfit went viral.
