Yannick Carrasco set the world talking with his goal celebration in the Champions League final. No one had ever gone over to the crowd to kiss someone.
Was it Carrasco's girlfriend? Was it Carrasco's wife? Was Carraso kissing some random girl?
Yannick Carrasco Girlfriend:
Well, the answer has been revealed - it's Yannick Carrasco's girlfriend. Her name is Noemie Happart. Noemie Happart is a 22-year-old Belgian model. She's also a former Ms. Belgium winner from 2013.
22-year-old Belgian Carrasco avoided all of his teammates after equalising in the second half against arch-rivals Real Madrid to run to his girlfriend - Happart. It's not hard to blame him really. It's a surprise that no one has done this before.
It's also a surprise that John Terry didn't get there before him:
Carrasco's girlfriend isn't just a pretty face though. The model studied psychology and medicine in college before pursuing her modelling career.

The pair will be one to watch out for in the Euros and beyond. Ireland fans will be watching - Carrasco is likely to feature for Marc Wilmots side in Ireland's group next month. We can only assume that Noemie Happart will be there to cheer him on.
For Happart, that kiss has gone viral and brought her to the attention of the world - not just those who remember Miss Belgium from 2013. Carrisco's girlfriend also competed in the Miss World and Miss Universe events that year - coming in the top 20 in both competitions.
And she knew right from the moment it happened too:

The pair have been together since September 2015. When Noemie Happart isn't busy supporting her man and being Carrasco's girlfriend, she's gone back to studying marketing - as well as modelling, and hosting several French TV shows - showcasing her fluent Dutch, French, and English.
