Lamine Yamal and his great 'trivela', with which he enabled Raphinha in the Mallorca-Barça match, have gone viral on social networks. Because? We tell you at FCBN
If there’s one thing Lamine Yamal has stood out for recently, it’s his impressive ability to assist his teammates with his already famous, and almost trademarked, 'trivela' passes. This type of pass, using the outside of his foot, when striking the ball, creates a spectacular bending effect, with a precision worthy of video games.
This talent was evident in the match between RCD Mallorca and FC Barcelona (1-5), where a perfect demonstration of this type of 'three-finger' assist was showcased in the 1-3 scored by Raphinha. Lamine Yamal's delivery, with that aforementioned curved effect, managed to spectacularly surpass three opponents, reaching the '11' player who controlled the ball and headed towards the goal, where he practically only had to use his left foot to send the ball into the back of the net.
🪄 LAMINE YAMAL, MINISTER OF THE OUTSIDE.

Now, in the post-match interview with Lamine Yamal, there was a curious moment related to this play. Journalist Francesc Latorre, from 'Esport3', asked him about his epic 'trivela' pass, mentioning: “I have to confess that I really enjoy playing FIFA and Pro Evolution, but I can’t find the button to make these assists…” To this, in a joking tone, Lamine replied: “I think L2 is the button in FIFA.”

Lamine Yamal's 'trivela' has gone viral on social media
This latest statement triggered a movement that went viral on social media. The artist Miki Noëlle, specializing in interactive street art, illustrations, and various forms of artistic expression, decided to immortalize this moment by spreading an impressive illustration on the streets of Barcelona.
The 26-year-old Catalan artist placed a 'sticker' on a wall in the Gràcia neighborhood, dedicated to Lamine Yamal. In the artwork, we can see the Hispanic-Moroccan winger executing his characteristic 'trivela', specifically the one he recently performed against RCD Mallorca. Above this illustration, the symbols L2+X, a command used in the FIFA video game to perform these aesthetically pleasing and lethal passes, can be seen.
The virality of the illustration and Lamine Yamal's fondness for it has been so great that the player has taken the opportunity to set this photo as his new profile picture on his Instagram @LamineYamal. This is part of what, as mentioned earlier, is becoming a true personal brand for him, and this season, amusingly, has allowed him to assist three times, demonstrating remarkable confidence and ease.
