Spain's historic World Cup triumph was celebrated in fitting fashion on Monday, as the country's royal family welcomed the newly crowned champions to the Zarzuela Palace. But while the ceremony honored an entire team, it was one spontaneous interaction involving Lamine Yamal that quickly became the internet's favorite moment. King Felipe VI of Spain, Queen Letizia of Spain, Leonor, Princess of Asturias, and Infanta Sofía of Spain officially received the Spanish national team at the palace following Sunday's 1-0 extra-time victory over Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final. The reception included congratulations from the royal family, an official welcome for the players and coaching staff, and a commemorative photo session celebrating Spain's second men's World Cup title. Yet, once videos from the event began circulating online, fans found themselves talking about something entirely different.
