An insight into the meaning behind the new celebration made use of by Barcelona star Lamine Yamal on Sunday has come to the fore online.
This comes amid the understanding that the pose was a tribute to younger brother, Keyne.
Barcelona were of course back in action a short time ago, making the trip to Mestalla with sights on a fourth successive victory to open the defence of their La Liga title.
When all was said and done, another three points is precisely what the Blaugrana secured, courtesy of a dominant 5-0 triumph.
The aforementioned Lamine, despite fitness concerns in the days leading up to the clash, was in from the off in Valencia, and set the scoring in motion courtesy of a classy finish.
After wheeling away towards the corner flag, the 19-year-old then unveiled a new-look celebration into the camera, sucking his thumb whilst striking a pose.
As since revealed by Diario Sport, this came to commemorate the birthday of Lamine's younger brother, Keyne, who turned four this weekend:
