The talented 18-year-old, considered by many to be a key player in Barcelona’s La Liga title campaign, was also one of the main actors during the open-top bus parade through the city.

Earlier in the day, Yamal sparked backlash on social media after posting a video of Ferran Torres’ goal celebration in Barcelona’s 2-0 win against Real Madrid with the message “talk is cheap”, which many interpreted as an allusion to Jude Bellingham’s earlier post.

During the parade, many flags could be seen in the streets of Barcelona, mainly club and Catalan flags, but Yamal later lifted the flag of Palestine from the bus.

In Spain, during the past year, great support for Palestine was recorded.
In addition, the young footballer also attracted attention with a T-shirt with the inscription: “Thank God I’m not a Madridista”, thereby further provoking Barcelona’s biggest rival.
Yamal is not the only soccer player in Spain who has recently shown support for Palestine. Rayo Vallecano footballer Ilias Akhomach also raised the Palestinian flag in front of the fans at Vallecas Stadium during the celebrations after the Conference League match.

Akhomach, who is a few years older than Yamal, also came through Barcelona’s La Masia youth academy.
