Spain winger Lamine Yamal has seen his three-year-old brother, Keyne, become an unexpected breakout sensation during Spain's World Cup campaign.
The toddler has captured hearts by cheering, blowing kisses, and celebrating in the stadium stands, with media dubbing him Spain's superstar in the stands.

Keyne was recently put in the spotlight after Spain defeated Belgium to advance to the semi-finals.
Television cameras captured Keyne pulling playful faces during post-match celebrations, making his older brother laugh from the pitch.
Lamine Yamal explained that his little brother had warned him a day prior.
"I was at physio and he called me, using my mum's phone, and told me that he was going to stick his tongue out tomorrow," Lamine Yamal said.
"So that's why when I saw him on the screen, it really made me laugh."
This is not Keyne's first taste of football limelight.
He previously joined his brother on the pitch during Spain's 2024 European Championship victory and accompanied Lamine Yamal to the Ballon d'Or ceremony in Paris, walking the red carpet in a tiny suit and sneakers.
The Barcelona star, who turned 19 on Monday, has frequently expressed his deep bond with Keyne. "My little brother means everything to me," Lamine Yamal said.
"I'm in love with him; it feels like he's my son."
