Lamine Yamal was one of the players who drew the most attention throughout the World Cup. Expectations were high after everything he had shown before the tournament, but considering he arrived carrying a knock from his time at Barcelona and still lifted the World Cup at just 19 years old, things could hardly have ended much better for the Spanish star.

Still, he was not the most talked-about member of his family. His younger brother, Keyne, stole the spotlight throughout the tournament, even becoming one of the main topics during Lamine's press conferences. His personality turned him into a fan favorite by delivering memorable moments away from the pitch, and the World Cup celebrations were the perfect ending to that story.

Keyne delivers the celebration's most viral moment

After the final whistle, players' families and friends were invited onto the field to celebrate the title. Keyne was among the most excited to join the festivities, but instead of simply posing with the World Cup trophy, he tried to lick it. The playful moment immediately had everyone around him laughing and quickly became one of the defining images of the celebration.
