What does Lamine Yamal’s ‘304’ goal celebration mean?

Lamine Yamal broke into the Barcelona senior team last year and immediately secured a spot in the starting XI, contributing to 17 goals in 50 matches during his debut season for the club.

This impressive performance earned him a call-up to his first-ever Euros with Spain.

The 16-year-old winger is now the youngest player to debut at the tournament. He even marked his first appearance with a beautiful assist for one of La Roja’s goals against Croatia (3-0).

While he hasn’t scored in the competition yet, Yamal already has a distinctive celebration planned — a gesture where he prominently displays the numbers ‘304’.

What does it mean, though?

‘304’ represents the zip code of Rocafonda—one of the poorest neighborhoods in Catalonia— where Lamine grew up.

The youngster proudly represents his roots, even carrying ‘304’ on his boots as a constant reminder of his humble beginnings.
