Lamine made it clear he does not support such slogans.

Details: Social media exploded with controversy after Barcelona's 18-year-old winger Lamine Yamal refused to take part in the lap of honour and engage with fans following the friendly match against Egypt.

Lamine demonstratively left the pitch without acknowledging the supporters to thank them for their backing, and his facial expression left no doubt that he found the chants from Spain’s fans unacceptable.

During the match, “La Roja” supporters began chanting the provocative slogan “whoever doesn't jump is a Muslim,” which deeply hurt all Muslims present, and especially Yamal himself.

Lamine has previously spoken openly about his Muslim faith and observed the holy month of Ramadan.
