CAN 2025 – Senegal: Yehvann Diouf taunts Morocco

The CAN 2025 final between Senegal and Morocco delivered not just football drama, but an unexpected, instantly viral scene. Away from the spotlight, Yehvann Diouf, the Lions’ backup goalkeeper, became the unlikely star in a moment that was both hilarious and deeply symbolic.

As unexpected chaos erupted near the Senegalese goal, Diouf stepped in to defend his teammate Édouard Mendy’s towel, which had caught the attention of the ball boys. Even as he was dragged along the ground, Diouf never let go.

After the trophy celebration, Diouf kept the story alive on Instagram, striking a pose with the medal around his neck and the towel in hand, adding a cheeky caption: “Here it is (the medal and the towel).” The playful nod quickly went viral, turning into an instant classic.
