Lamine Yamal executes unique dribbling move in Barcelona victory

During a Champions League match against Galatasaray, FC Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal executed a unique dribbling maneuver that has drawn significant international attention. In the 52nd minute, Yamal used a feint that appeared to be a 'rabona' but instead involved stepping on the ball to bypass defender Eren Elmali, ultimately creating space to assist Anthony Gordon for Barcelona's third goal.

Media commentators and fans have dubbed the move the ‘almost rabona’ or ‘rabona-self-pass.’ While some analysts highlighted the novelty of the play, Chilean football fans noted the similarity to a move previously performed by Matías Fernández. Yamal explained in an interview that the maneuver was an attempt to use feints to create space against defenders who frequently attempt to slide or tackle when he reaches the goal line.
