Barcelona star Raphinha kept a special promise to a young fan in Brazil’s win over Australia | OneFootball

Barcelona star Raphinha was responsible for a moment of class after finding the net on the international front this week. This came by way of a special celebration for a young Brazilian fan.

Frontman Raphinha kept alive a scintillating recent run of form in front of goal on Tuesday, during Brazil’s friendly meeting with Australia.

En route to a 4-2 triumph for the South Americans, the 29-year-old slotted home from the penalty spot on the stroke of the interval.

From here, Raphinha unveiled a new-look celebration, which saw the former Leeds United man put his hands to his face in the shape of a pair of glasses.

And an explanation for this gesture has since come to the fore online.

As revealed by Diario Record, the in-form striker was personally asked for as much by a young fan in the days leading up to the Brazil vs Australia clash.

Raphinha, from here, kept his promise, and no doubt made the day of the young supporter in question in the process:
