Raphinha, playing in the Barcelona team, has had an excellent season and distinguished himself with an exceptional act off the pitch.

After winning the return match of the Spanish Cup semifinals against Atletico Madrid 1-0 yesterday and advancing to the final, the Brazilian did not hasten to disappear into the locker room.

The forward waited for his opponents in the corridor of the arena and, upon seeing Argentine Rodrigo de Paul, began to comfort him and offered to swap jerseys.

According to fans, Raphinha’s action is quite unexpected not only because of the rivalry between the La Liga clubs but also due to the recent sparks of discord recorded during the World Cup qualifying match between the Brazil and Argentina national teams (1-4).
