Sporting ball boy celebrates win with starter in jubilant style | OneFootball

Maxi Araújo was in the starting lineup for Sporting in the match against PSG, but before the duel took place, on the way to entering through the ‘Porta 10A’ at the stadium—where players usually stop to sign autographs or take photos with young fans present—the Uruguayan international exchanged a few words with his brother, who would go on to be one of the ball boys during the prestigious match.

Later, Maxi Araújo celebrated with the young boy on the pitch and ended up receiving a dedication. On social media, several kids who attended the match at Alvalade shared a photo imitating Maxi’s celebration, a moment that was posted by the player from the national champions.

The 25-year-old athlete also surprised everyone by showing up with a new hairstyle, which happened due to a personal belief. Whenever he feels the need to renew his energy or feel revitalized, the Uruguayan always opts for a new haircut when he wants to recharge his batteries, something that has happened once again.

The player, who can cover the entire left flank, said in an interview with SIC in December, that he intends to stay at Alvalade for many years. “I am very happy here, I love the city and I love Portugal. I hope to stay at Sporting for many years,” Maxi stated.

This season, wearing Sporting’s shirt, Maxi Araújo—valued at 22 million euros—played 24 matches: 14 in Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the UEFA Champions League, one in the Taça de Portugal, one in the Taça da Liga, and one in the Supertaça. In the 1,842 minutes he was on the pitch, the winger scored five goals and provided one assist.
