Spain winger Lamine Yamal has once again taken to social media with a cryptic message just hours before one of the biggest matches of his career.

Ahead of Sunday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup final against Argentina, the 19-year-old shared an old photograph of himself as a child on Instagram, accompanied by the caption: “For you and for the streets.”

The post quickly went viral as fans interpreted it as a message of confidence before the showdown at the Estadio Azteca.

Yamal has become well known for making bold social media posts before high-profile matches, often sharing motivational messages or photos that capture the mood ahead of kick-off.
