And this? Sporting star spotted in an open-back van (video) | OneFootball

A video of Maxi Araújo has gone viral in recent hours and is winning over Sporting fans. After Uruguay’s elimination from the World Cup, the Uruguayan international was filmed leaving Carrasco Airport, starring in a scene that quickly sparked countless reactions on social media because of the simplicity he showed.

The footage shows the 26-year-old full-back leaving the airport in the open back of a pickup truck, accompanied by his family and his belongings. The moment was captured by a TikTok user and quickly spread across the internet, surprising many fans with the humility shown by the Sporting player.

The Uruguayan press was keen to highlight the contrast between Maxi Araújo’s attitude and that of several other footballers who, after taking part in the World Cup, chose to share holiday photos from luxury destinations such as Italy or Mexico. In the Sporting player’s case, the simplicity of his return home ended up being widely praised.

Maxi Araújo arrived in Uruguay on Wednesday morning, just a few days after the national team’s elimination in the group stage of the World Cup - in which he stood out. The defeat against Spain brought an early end to the competition and allowed the player to begin his rest period before returning to Portugal.

While Rui Borges continues preparing the new season in Alcochete, Maxi Araújo is expected to report back later due to the vacation period granted after his international commitments. Even so, the Uruguayan international has already won over many fans off the pitch with a gesture of great simplicity that continues to make headlines.
