Watch: Barcelona forward crosses Montjuic pitch on his knees as tribute to God | OneFootball

Barcelona winger Raphinha has once again turned to a deeply personal and spiritual tradition to express gratitude, as a video posted by his wife, Natalia Rodrigues, captured the Brazilian star walking on his knees around the Montjuic pitch, a heartfelt tribute to God after a season filled with triumph and blessings.

The touching scene was shared on social media by Natalia, who accompanied the video with an emotional message that reflected the couple’s shared faith and gratitude. She wrote:

“I made this video with tears in my eyes. Grateful and unwavering faith. God knows where He brought us from, and He knows where He has placed us.

“He knows all the prayers we prayed together, and He answered! The privilege, my love, is walking with you toward the finish line. Another year of keeping His promise… Thank you God for keeping us this far. See you next season.”

For Raphinha, this public display of spiritual humility is not new. Fans may recall that back in 2022, after helping Leeds United avoid relegation with a decisive 2-1 win over Brentford, the forward also walked on his knees across the pitch, while his teammates celebrated with the crowd, he quietly honoured what he believes was divine intervention.

This time, the gesture came after what has been a successful season at Barcelona, both on a personal and team level.

The Brazilian has been a key figure for the Catalan side, contributing goals and assists, and stepping up in crucial matches despite constant competition for places.

While some debates linger over his future under new manager Hansi Flick, Raphinha’s commitment and mentality have never been in question.
