Rafinha loses his cool after Flamengo clinch Brasileirão title | OneFootball

Current Grupo Globo Commentator, Rafinha Went Wild with Flamengo's Title

Retired from the field, former full-back Rafinha still has great friends at Flamengo. On Wednesday (03), the current commentator was assigned by Grupo Globo to work on the match against Ceará at Maracanã, the game that secured the title for the Most Beloved. However, after the final whistle, the ex-athlete 'forgot' his current role and went out to celebrate with Bruno Henrique.

With Flamengo's trophy secured after the 1-0 win over Ceará, Rafinha hugged Bruno Henrique and started jumping and spinning to the sound of the stands. At that moment, the fans were singing the samba “Vou Festejar”. Then, the commentator left the Grupo Globo team desperate, as the former full-back was tangled in several wires, like the headset and microphone cables, attached to his body.

“Look at Rafinha jumping in the middle of the crowd, in the arms of Bruno Henrique. Our cable guy is pulling to one side, to the other. Take Rafinha's headset off so he can go to the party, they're taking headset and microphone. My God,” exclaimed GETV narrator Jorge Iggor in desperation.

WHO FROM THE CURRENT SQUAD PLAYED WITH RAFINHA?

Rafinha has many friends at Flamengo. Among the current players, the former full-back played with Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique. Additionally, the commentator shared locker rooms with coach Filipe Luís and assistant Rodrigo Caio. In other words, ‘Rafita’ was at home in Maracanã.

A member of Flamengo's 'magical year' in 2019, Rafinha won five titles with the club: Libertadores, Brasileirão, Carioca, Supercopa, and Recopa. However, his stint was short, as the former full-back requested to be transferred to Olympiacos (GRE) in 2020.

Now, Rafinha will be cheering for his friends to win the Intercontinental Cup, the Club World Cup. Next Wednesday (10), the Most Beloved will face Cruz Azul from Mexico in the Derby of the Americas, a kind of quarter-final. The match kicks off at 2 PM (Brasília time) in Qatar.
