Spanish soccer star Lamine Yamal proved he was a family man at heart by sharing a celebratory photo at the 2026 World Cup Final alongside his beloved mother, Sheila Ebana, and his three-year-old brother, Keyne.
The 19-year-old, who took the world by storm during the FIFA competition with his incredible talent and adorable bond with his little brother, shared a behind-the-scenes look at Spain's win against Lionel Messi's Argentinian team on Sunday night.
Lamine looked laid back as he stood with his arm around his mother, who wore his number 19 jersey and the gold medal around her neck. Keyne stood in front of them with his hand on the coveted World Cup trophy, also dressed in his brother's jersey.
The photos followed a sweet on-camera moment that Lamine shared with Keyne, whom Sheila welcomed with her husband in September 2022.
As the Spanish players celebrated on the pitch after defeating the reigning champions 1-0 in extra time, Keyne was seen dribbling a ball around the goal and grabbing a piece of the netting for himself, before running over to his big brother and sharing an adorable hug with the teen.
Lamine has spoken at length about wanting a peaceful childhood for his brother, after the soccer star was raised in a poor neighborhood in Mataró, Spain.
Sheila, who hails from Equatorial Guinea, welcomed her eldest son in 2007 with her ex-husband, Moroccan native Mounir Nasraoui. Lamine's father was a blue-collar worker while Sheila worked at McDonald's to support their son, yet the pair split when he was three years old.

"I came from an apartment where the kitchen and bedroom were in the same place," Lamine said on the Fundación José Ramón de la Morenapodcast. "So I see my mother happy, I see that my brother can have the kind of childhood I would have wanted, and that's what makes me happiest."
After Spain defeated Austria at the World Cup, Lamine shared that Keyne was almost like a son to him. "My brother is everything to me, it's like he's my own son, and I'm completely in love with him."
"It makes me emotional to see my brother happy, my mother…living the life she always dreamed of," he said. "In the end, that's what I want, it's a kid's biggest dream, beyond soccer and everything else." He added that Keyne was unaware of his worldwide fame, which began after a video of him cheering for his brother went viral.
"I don't think he's realized," Lamine explained. "He does what he does at home, and when the camera is on him, he does something goofy. When he's older, he'll see it. I like that people have so much love for him. I like seeing him on the screen. He entertains me."
Lamine was scouted by FC Barcelona at just six years old, and joined the club's famous La Masia academy a year later before making history as the youngest player in the team at 15 years, nine months and 16 days old.
