Malaysia has a new viral sensation! Muhamad Zakhir Muhamad Zaidi, a young man from Bachok, Kelantan, has taken the internet by storm with his striking resemblance to Spanish football star Lamine Yamal of Barcelona.
The 20-year-old went viral after participating in an e-sports event during the 2026 World Cup final screening in Kuala Lumpur. When his name was called to receive his prize, the crowd erupted, chanting "Yamal! Yamal!" – and the rest is history.
"Bila nama naik untuk ambil hadiah di depan pentas, orang sekeliling terus bersorak memanggil
nama Yamal beramai-ramai sampai saya sendiri rasa berdebar."
— Muhamad Zakhir Muhamad Zaidi, the 'Lamine Yamal' lookalike
Zakhir, who works as a content creator on TikTok, has embraced the viral fame. He even styles his hair to match Yamal's signature look. And while he may look like a Spanish football star, he's actually a loyal supporter of Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo – a fun twist that's made the story even more entertaining!
