Raphinha overdoes it in Barca party; ex-Sporting gesture debated (video) | OneFootball

The streets of Catalonia will not forget Barcelona’s celebrations after winning the Spanish league title this Monday, following the 2-0 victory over Real Madrid at Camp Nou the day before.

The crowning moment was meant to belong only to the Catalans, but some merengue fans tried to “spoil” it. One of them even went out onto a balcony to show off a blanca shirt, to which Raphinha, the former Sporting player, responded by showing him the middle finger. The incident quickly went viral on social media.

Apparently, the highly charged atmosphere on the streets of Barcelona brought out this side of the Brazilian player, who, on the top deck of the bus for the culés’ celebrations, could not hold back and responded very directly to the provocation from a merengue supporter.

The back-to-back title won by the Catalan side, which marked their 29th Spanish national championship, has a special taste, particularly for Hansi Flick, as the coach learned of his father’s death the day before his team’s crowning moment.

This season, Raphinha has made 32 appearances, scoring 19 goals and providing eight assists for Barcelona. Already with three Spanish league titles to his name, his focus for the remainder of the season is on trying to reach the 100-point mark in La Liga and on making Carlo Ancelotti’s final squad for the 2026 World Cup. The Brazilian star, who was recently linked with the Saudi league, insists he is focused on the Catalan club.
