Yannick Carrasco was the man for a moment in time, and he made sure his girlfriend knew it (if she didn’t already).
The Atletico Madrid winger celebrated the goal he scored in the 2016 UEFA Champions League Final on Saturday by kissing his girlfriend, who was watching from the stands.
Carrasco dramatically pulled Atletico Madrid onto level terms with Real Madrid by turning home Juanfran’s cross in the 79th minute. Instead of communing with his teammates, the 22-year-old darted behind Atletico Madrid’s bench and smooched his significant other.
First he gets the goal.
Then he gets the girl.#uclfinal ⚽️⚽️ https://t.co/BqiGUwoSXC

Unfortunately, for Carrasco, Happart and Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid won the game on penalty kicks.
At least Carrasco had better luck than this Atletico Madrid fan.
