Lamine Yamal reveals why he pulled out Barcelona legend Thierry Henry’s celebration after scoring for Spain

Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal explained that he adopted Thierry Henry's iconic corner flag celebration after scoring for Spain because the French legend serves as a major reference for him. Yamal scored twice during Spain's Nations League victory against Croatia, choosing to celebrate by posing with the corner flag in tribute to the former Barcelona and Arsenal forward.

The performance marked a historic milestone for the teenager, making him the youngest player ever to register two goals and an assist in a single match for Spain. His display against Croatia followed another goal scored against England, ahead of upcoming fixtures against Czechia and Croatia.
