In a video shared by #forcabarca_ar on X on Monday, the 19-year-old winger took centre stage at the victory party in Madrid, grooving energetically in a customised tank top and notably sagging his shorts following Spain’s 1-0 extra-time victory over Argentina in the 2026 final.
The viral clip has divided opinions, with many questioning the appropriateness of his attire during the national celebration even as Yamal, who played a pivotal role in Spain’s campaign, soaked in the glory.

Social media erupted with reactions. “Damn I’m starting to love this boy,” posted #UTDTrey on X while sharing the footage. Under the same thread, #CFCMods fired back: “You didn’t think hating on someone you’re 10 years older was weird before?”
Another user #IGWT741776 added, “And the world started to hate his character. All that fame got to his head. He looks like a Jail B walking out like that. His actions after winning will cost him. Pau Cubarsí will be a better player than Yamal. He is the one who will be better than this guy.”
#mimixoxo1111 highlighted the fashion debate, noting the low-slung look as Yamal “acting like he carried the whole team.”

Yamal’s penchant for sagging shorts has drawn scrutiny in the past, including remarks from pundits who labelled it as overconfidence for a young player.
The forward has previously trolled critics by pulling them even lower in celebrations, embracing the style as part of his street-inspired persona.
Despite the controversy, Yamal’s achievements on the field stand tall. The teenager became the first player under 20 to win both the UEFA European Championship and the FIFA World Cup, underlining his rapid rise in global football.
As Spain basks in its second World Cup title, Yamal’s celebration attire continues to fuel online discourse, raising questions about image, youth culture, and focus amid major triumphs.
