Spain wonderkid Lamine Yamal went public with his student girlfriend after sensationally inspiring his country to Euro 2024 glory on a night to remember.
Teenage sensation Yamal lifted the first major international trophy of his career just a day after his 17th birthday following yesterday's 2-1 win against England in Berlin.
The winger teed up Nico Williams for Spain's opener after some trademark trickery and capped off a spectacular month that has thrust him into the spotlight.
Yamal later remained on the pitch long after the confetti-laden celebrations to toast the success and was joined by his partner, student Alex Padilla.
The loved-up couple cosied up together and posed for photos with his young player of the tournament trophy, given to him after a series of scintillating displays.
Padilla, a social media influencer with over 300,000 followers on TikTok, supported her boyfriend by wearing a Spain jersey with his name and shirt number on the back.
Clutching the sleek silverware on her lap, Padilla placed her arm around Yamal and smiled for the cameras while sitting on top of the podium.
In one photo, a gleeful Yamal also appeared to take a selfie with Padilla.
The couple were accompanied by Yamal's father, Mounir Nasraoui, who before the game had correctly predicted his son would shine on the biggest of occasions.
It is believed that Padilla attended several of Spain's matches at the European Championship and was spotted sitting alongside Yamal's family.
Speculation had mounted over their budding relationship after she was photographed with several of Yamal's relatives in a dugout during the tournament.
And the rumours reached fever pitch after eagle-eyed social media users spotted Padilla was one of only two accounts followed by Yamal on his TikTok account.
Prodigy Yamal shattered several records during the European Championship and became the competition's youngest-ever scorer after netting against France in the semi-finals, his stunning, bending effort having picked out the top corner.
He will now return to his club Barcelona and has been tipped to continue to astound, with his dad even comparing him to all-time great Lionel Messi.
'You cannot imagine how proud I am of my son,' Nasraoui told The Telegraph.
'I always knew that he would achieve what he has. I had total faith. And I have faith that he could go all the way and be greater than Messi.'
