Barcelona superstar Lamine Yamal showed off a new celebration on Thursday as he scored twice in a 7-3 friendly win over FC Seoul.

The teenager has become known for his 304 celebration - in tribute to his Rocafonda neighborhood - but went for something different in South Korea.

It’s already been pointed out that Yamal was copying LeBron James’s infamous crown celebration by many on social media.

Yamal seems to have confirmed that, too, with his own post on Instagram after the game.

Barcelona’s teenager posted the following after the win.

Yamal’s goals on Thursday were his first for Barcelona since taking over the iconic No. 10 shirt at the club and he admitted he was in dreamland.

“I’m happy—it was a dream, a dream I had,” he said afterwards.

“To be able to score wearing this shirt and this number, which is very special to me. I’m also very happy for the team’s victory.”
