Andalusian mother asks daughter to send message to Mikel Oyarzabal | OneFootball

Spain's 2026 World Cup euphoria has sparked a charming viral moment, as an Andalusian mother asked her influencer daughter to pass a message to Mikel Oyarzabal.

According to Diario Vasco, Marta Teodoro shared a screenshot of their private chat about the Real Sociedad forward on a Chinese-origin platform, topping 100,000 views within hours before spreading to X.

Without social media, the mother asked her daughter to act as go-between to reach the txuri-urdin striker. She wanted to praise him on and off the pitch, call him grounded, and ask him not to change. She also wanted her age and Andalusian origin included.

Teodoro replied with humour and scepticism, asking if her mother knew the Spain international. Told he might never read it amid a flood of messages after the World Cup, the mother proposed also sending it via Real Sociedad's channels.

The clip aligns with Oyarzabal's profile, the Real Sociedad captain, born in Eibar in 1997, and a prominent goalscorer for Spain. He played a key role at Euro 2024 and had a notable role at the 2026 World Cup, and fans often praise his natural manner away from the pitch. Users reacted with humour and support.

There has been no indication yet of a response from Oyarzabal or the club.
