WATCH: Far too many people loved the dabbing mascot ahead of Barcelona v Manchester City

It's taken over

SportsJOE

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.

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.
