Why Does Lamine Yamal Celebrate His Goals With a 304?
Lamine Yamal never ceases to amaze the world with his talent, and we can already say that FC Barcelona has found its new star, after witnessing the departure of Lionel Messi from the club.
Now, the young footballer is in the spotlight and has drawn attention, especially for how he celebrates his goals.
Yamal often makes a hand gesture that forms the number “304,” and it’s not a random number—it holds deep meaning for the 17-year-old footballer.
This number represents the last digits of the postal code of his neighborhood, Rocafonda, in Mataró (08304), where he spent most of his life growing up.
In this way, the young Barça player pays tribute to his neighborhood, a working-class and humble area, which has now earned a beautiful homage from someone who is already a rising star for both FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team.
