The Catalan club's 18-year-old rising star, Lamine Yamal, became the talk of the fans and the football world with his gesture during the celebrations.
During the on-field celebrations, Lamine Yamal carried a Palestinian flag to show his support for the Palestinian people. These moments received loud applause from the stands and resonated widely on social media.
