[Saba Sports News] Spain is undoubtedly one of the standout teams in this European Championship, with the performance of leading striker Dani Olmo catching the eye. In a recent interview with the media, Olmo explained the reason behind his wrist-pointing celebration after scoring a goal. It turns out that he is a fan of NBA star Damian Lillard, who celebrates in a similar way when scoring crucial goals. Olmo said, “I am an NBA fan, and I really like Lillard’s celebrations when he scores important goals. That’s why I do it.” Olmo, who came from La Masia’s youth training, has been playing for Bundesliga’s RB Leipzig since 2020. His performance in the national team has been outstanding, especially in the 2024 European Championship. He scored goals in three consecutive games, including matches against Georgia and Germany, showcasing his exceptional offensive efficiency. Not only has he helped the Spanish team gain an advantage, but he has also been directly involved in the most goals.
