3 Barca players have special ritual before kick-offs – they did it for the first time at La Masia

Against Valencia, La Masia graduates Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsi and Marc Bernal were able to play together again, even making Barca’s starting line-up altogether.

The three youngsters did not forget to repeat their ritual, positioning themselves in a certain way in the pre-match team photo.

Bernal and Cubarsi were standing while Lamine Yamal was sitting. They’ve been positioning themselves like this since 2018/19 when they met at La Masia for the first time.

This habit proves the players’ long-standing friendship they’ve been developing since their academy days.
