Kid celebrating Spain's third goal

Honestly the more I watch it the more I think the reaction is bigger than the actual moment because the kid just throws himself into it and that is exactly why it works and why people are quoting it already and why every fanbase will probably end up using it against each other for the next month because football internet is like that now and anything vaguely funny gets turned into a whole personality and I am not even complaining because this one is harmless and actually funny unlike half the nonsense that gets pushed around but still the way people are already talking like he is some sort of future world beater is a bit much if you ask me, let him have his tiny celebration and stop acting like you have scouted the next superstar off a five second clip
 
The best part is how immediate the reaction was, because you can tell people online love a clip that is readable in half a second and this one absolutely is. It is also one of those moments where the context almost matters less than the body language, since the little flex and the shout do most of the work. Still, the way football fans instantly start doing family trees and projecting careers off a celebration is peak internet behaviour, and it always turns into a weird mix of genuine affection and complete overreaction, which is probably why these clips spread so fast in the first place
 
The officials probably had no idea what was going on in that moment but somehow they still manage to ruin the vibe with every tiny stoppage and every bit of needless fuss and then a harmless clip like this becomes the only thing worth watching because at least the kid has some personality unlike half the people in charge of the game who spend their whole day getting in the way and acting like the centre of attention when nobody asked for it
 
People keep joking but that kid is honestly the most entertaining thing in the whole clip and I dont even mean that as an insult to anyone else because he just has that natural swagger that makes you look twice, the little arms, the way he shouts it, the confidence, all of it, and now every time I see it I am thinking right this is exactly how a meme gets born, because the internet is going to milk this for everything and I am already tired of hearing people pretend they have some deep analysis on a child celebrating a goal, just enjoy the damn moment and stop acting like every facial expression is a scouting report
 
I get why people are laughing at it because it is a very clean little football moment and the kid absolutely commits to the celebration, which is why it looks so good on a clip, but what really gets me is how fast the whole thing turns into a full internet event the second someone recognises him as Yamal's brother. That is the modern game now though, one tiny reaction and suddenly everyone is acting like the family has produced another star already, and maybe that is harmless fun, maybe it is a bit much, but either way the lad has stolen the show and there is no going back now because this is going to be quoted, replayed and turned into jokes for ages and honestly fair enough because it is hilarious, end of story, what a weird little beautiful mess football is
