Lamine Yamal boarded the Spanish national team bus in downtown Chattanooga with a red WWE Universal Championship belt wrapped around his shoulder.

Just hours after scoring what Lamine Yamal said was the "most important goal of my life" in Spain's 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in the FIFA World Cup, the 18-year-old star took time to visit outside the front of the Embassy Suites in downtown Chattanooga with a special young fan.

Sitting on the bench, Saudi Arabia striker Saleh Al-Shehri could only put his head in his hands as Spain extended its lead to 4-0 early into the second half at the World Cup.
