Raphinha was one of the most significant signings in Barcelona’s history when the Spanish club decided to pay around $60 million to Leeds United to complete the transfer from the Premier League to La Liga.

Thus, the midfielder joined an extraordinary list of Brazilian stars who have played for Barcelona such as Ronaldo, Romario, Ronaldinho or Neymar. All of them left an impressive legacy for the Catalan team.

Now, in a great homage to his idols, Raphinha decided to make a very particular gesture during Barcelona’s official photo for the 2023-2024 season. The image has already gone viral worldwide.
