Lamine Yamal paid a cute tribute to his little brother Keyne on his birthday after scoring twice for Barcelona.

Yamal once again delivered a masterclass performance during Barcelona’s 5-0 win over Valencia on Sunday, September 6.

The Spanish sensation, who was also part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup winning team, scored for the first time in the La Liga season after opening the score for the team in the sixth minute of the match.

But it was not his goal that made the headline but his celebration for his toddler brother that got the attention.

After scoring the goal, the 19-year-old put his thumb to his mouth to show love for his brother, who turned four on match day.


According to USA Today, Yamal’s mother Sheila Ebana and Keyne were in the stands at the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia.

Fermín López, Raphinha, and Yamal’s Spanish teammate and Golden Ball winner Rodri each scored a goal to extend Barcelona's lead.

Meanwhile, Yamal, who scored the first goal of the match, also netted the final goal of the match in the 84th minute after receiving a pass from Dani Olmo.

The Sunday win marked Barcelona’s fourth consecutive win in the league, making it the top club on the La Liga table.

Lamine Yamal's heartfelt post for brother Keyne

Taking to Instagram late on Sunday, Yamal celebrated his double strike in his second straight match for Barcelona as he wished Keyne a happy birthday.

He wrote, “Back to back (goal/football emoji), happy birthday al nene de casa (to the boy of the house). Love U!!"


The right winger also shared some pictures from the match, including his goal celebration gesture for his toddler brother. At the end of the carousel, he added a picture of Keyne wearing a blue Adidas outfit and his shorts below his waist like his older brother.

It is worth noting that Yamal, who recently won the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Spain after bearing Lionel Messi’s Argentina, has already broken several records for Barcelona.
