Lamine Yamal, the 18-year-old player of FC Barcelona, waved a Palestinian flag during the open-top bus parade celebrating the La Liga title win. He also posted images of the flag on Instagram. The team's coach, Hansi Flick, commented on Yamal's decision, stating that although he does not agree with the gesture, he respects the player's choice, considering that he is of legal age. Yamal's gesture comes amid a global reaction against Israel, in the context of the conflict in Gaza, which has also influenced sports. During the title celebration, approximately 750,000 people took to the streets of Barcelona. Yamal, considered a potential successor to Messi and Ronaldo, has already won three league titles and a European Championship with the Spanish national team in 2024. He is expected to be one of the stars of the World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico this summer.
