World Cup fans can't get enough of Umtiti's smooth moves.

Samuel Umtiti, French World Cup player and now, pitch dance master, had the most adorable victory strut after scoring a winning goal for France.

After advancing France to the finals on Tuesday, Umtiti jogged off the field with sassy hip-swinging triumph before saluting to the audience stands.

World Cup viewers, France fans or not, were all for his little dance sequence.

We want to see every angle of this!

His moves reminded @kisskara01 of a very specific, super relatable feeling.

Twitter users found some similarities between Umtiti's dancing and other iconic struts.

France's 1-0 victory against Belgium cemented its spot in the finals. Will its beloved baguette boy make an appearance?
