Despite losing their final home game of the La Liga season on Sunday, nothing could dampen the celebrations as Barcelona lifted the title in front of their fans – for the second time in three seasons.
Barça were presented with the trophy after a 3-2 defeat to Villarreal at the Olympic Stadium, having already clinched the championship days earlier with a win over city rivals Espanyol.
In both matches, Lamine Yamal found the back of the net – a fitting finale to what has been a sensational breakthrough season for the teenage prodigy, who’s fast becoming the brightest talent to emerge in Catalonia since a young Lionel Messi lit up the early 2000s.
Now boasting 43 goal contributions across all competitions (18 goals and 25 assists), Yamal took a well-deserved moment to soak it all in after the Villarreal match—singing with fans, waving enormous flags, and basking in the glory of his first La Liga title.
But the most memorable—and undeniably adorable—moment came courtesy of his younger brother, Keyne.
As the celebrations began to settle, Yamal brought Keyne onto the pitch. Together, they danced at the center circle – swaying their hips and waving their arms in sync, until Keyne, like any excited three-year-old, got carried away and began jumping up and down with joy.
Thankfully, the heartwarming scene was captured on camera and quickly shared, immortalising the moment for fans everywhere to enjoy.
It wasn’t the first time the two had shared such a stage. After Spain’s Euro 2024 triumph, Yamal celebrated in similar fashion – cuddling his little brother in the middle of the pitch, both wearing matching jerseys bearing his name on the back.
Lamine Yamal: teenage football sensation – and an even better big brother.
