FC Barcelona officially won the La Liga title this year with its triumph against RCD Espanyol and returned to the summit of Spanish football after some years. Celebrations for this victory are still continuing and were also a part of the agenda during the last Liga clash against Real Sociedad.
The latest La Liga winning team is starkly different from the teams that had been winning the league title on a continuous basis during the last decade. Only veterans like Busquets, Alba, Sergi Roberto, and Ter Stegen, etc., remain from the team that used to win the La Liga title every year, as most of the team has undergone a change in the last few years.
The players added recently to the squad have not been as lucky with the title, and this year’s La Liga triumph is the first major trophy for most of them. That is certainly the case with Raphinha, who joined the Catalans only last year.
The player’s excitement and gratitude at winning the league title with Barcelona was on full display in the title celebrations at Camp Nou. The player made a round of the pitch on his knees after the celebrations were over, and Camp Nou was empty of any spectators.
A video made and shared by a fan shows the Brazilian making the rounds of the pitch with a Brazilian flag on his shoulders according to a report from Mundo Deportivo.
While seemingly peculiar, this is not the first time Raphinha has shown his gratitude this way. He also undertook a round of the pitch on his knees when Leeds United was saved from relegation last summer.
Thus, his latest actions show how much the club and its successes mean for Raphinha. Meanwhile, as his future at the club remains uncertain, he will have to improve his attacking output if he is to have a long and memorable future at the club.
