What does Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal’s trademark celebration mean? | OneFootball

An insight into the meaning behind Barcelona and Spain star Lamine Yamal’s eye-catching trademark celebration has on Thursday been forthcoming online.

This, of course, comes as fans and neutrals alike become more and more accustomed to seeing Lamine make use of the celebration in question.

The 16-year-old, for his part, has taken his place front and centre in the headlines across all of Europe over the course of the last few days.

As much comes after Lamine was responsible for a Man of the Match performance, featuring a Goal of the Tournament contender, en route to Spain sending France packing from the European Championships.

The days since, in turn, have seen many turn to the internet, to learn more about a player already being widely tipped to define a generation.

And one topic of widespread discussion to have resulted from as much comes in the form of Lamine’s celebration.

Upon finding the net, the 16-year-old crosses his arms in front of him, whilst holding up four fingers on one hand, and three, alongside a zero symbol, on the other.

So, what exactly does this stand for?

As per Mundo Deportivo, it relates to the area in which Lamine grew up:

‘It is not a random number, but it has a meaning for Lamine, and it is that 304 refers to the last digits of the postcode of the neighbourhood where he has lived since he was a child, which is in Rocafonda, Mataró (08304).’
