There was one small detail after Barcelona’s decisive goal against Levante that caught more attention than usual, as the new signing chose a celebration that was noticeably different from what fans have become accustomed to seeing from him. But what Adeyemi said after the game revealed that the decision was not simply a random one, but connected to his mindset and what he wants from his new chapter with the Catalan club.
As the German forward continues to make an immediate impact at Barcelona, another intriguing detail emerged when he spoke about a personal number he has set for himself this season but chose not to reveal publicly. Between the celebration he decided to skip this time and the ambition he has kept private, Adeyemi offered another glimpse into his personality and his goals at Barcelona.
Karim Adeyemi scored Barcelona’s fourth goal in their 4-2 victory over Levante, appearing in stoppage time to seal the win and secure all three points in a match that proved far more difficult than expected. Levante had managed to reduce the deficit and put Barcelona under pressure before the German forward stepped up to settle the contest.
The goal took Adeyemi to three goals in six appearances for Barcelona since joining the club during the summer transfer window, underlining his impressive start and his ability to make a decisive contribution even when he does not start the game.
The most noticeable detail this time, however, was the absence of his famous backflip celebration, which he had performed after scoring in midweek. Asked why he did not repeat it against Levante, Adeyemi explained that he does not perform the celebration every time and only does it when he feels like celebrating that way.
Adeyemi explained that his previous backflip celebration had been dedicated to his children, while his focus this time was on helping Barcelona secure the three points.
The German forward also expressed his happiness at being able to contribute to the team, acknowledging that the victory came after a difficult game on a tough pitch against an aggressive opponent. In the end, however, he insisted that Barcelona deserved the win.
Despite his impressive start, Adeyemi does not appear satisfied with what he has achieved so far. The forward revealed that he has set himself a personal goal regarding the number of goals he wants to score this season, but he refused to disclose the figure.
Adeyemi explained that he is keeping the target to himself while continuing to work hard for more opportunities. For him, the most important thing remains winning games and helping Barcelona succeed.
Competition for places in Barcelona’s attack is also intensifying, with several attacking options available. Adeyemi is pushing strongly for a starting role and is competing with Anthony Gordon for one of the attacking positions.
Following his decisive goal against Levante, Adeyemi will now hope to earn another opportunity in Barcelona’s upcoming match against Racing as he looks to continue proving himself and show that his strong start at the club is no temporary run of form.
