FC Barcelona: when Lamine Yamal compares Gavi and Pedri to lollipops

Everything seems to be going perfectly at FC Barcelona. The team spirit is high, especially after Lamine Yamal's latest joke about his friends Gavi and Pedri.

As pre-season progresses—highlighted by a friendly win over Basel this Sunday (5-2)—FC Barcelona is on the verge of finalising the signings of João Cancelo and Rodri. These two major additions will further strengthen the squad: Cancelo already feels at home after two loan spells at Barça, and Rodri is set to reunite with his Spanish national teammates.

Everything is also going smoothly among the club’s reigning world champions. After celebrating their triumph across the Channel this summer, the Roja players have returned to FC Barcelona, and some even took up the challenge of dyeing their hair in honor of their World Cup victory.

It was a promise kept by Gavi and Pedri, with Pedri sporting blonde hair and Gavi going pink. It was the perfect opportunity for Lamine Yamal to tease them, dubbing them "the Chupa Chups" in reference to the iconic colorful lollipops. The hilarious moment was shared by Barça's official account on social media.
