Mascots and dabbing, it’s become a thing.
You’d have thought the honour of standing alongside the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar would be enough to keep a young football fan entertained but you’d be wrong.
Because this little fellow at the start of Barcelona’s Champions League clash with Manchester City on Wednesday night felt the need to add a dab of dabbing to proceedings.
That fucking thing again. pic.twitter.com/g2WeOX6Z4F

A handful of people were horrified to see the Champions League anthem sullied by the dance move that resembles a violent sneeze but it might surprise you to learn that the vast majority of supporters who’d spotted the dabcot doing his thing absolutely loved it.
2016, eh? It’s not for everybody.
Did you see that kid dab HAHA He'll do great in life! #FCBCity #BarcaVsManCity

The #dab from a mascot was one thing but the second wink just-to-make-sure from the last one was even better! #FCBCity #UCL #FCBMCFC

Kids walking with the players are dabbing. They need to find who invented the dab and honor them with a lifetime achievement award
