Raphinha has been spotted making a Leeds United supporter’s day following Barcelona’s 2-2 draw at Mallorca on Tuesday.
A video posted on Twitter by @kilbride_eth has shown him meeting two Leeds fans after the game, where the Brazilian was reportedly told about their attendance at the match before going to have his picture with them.
The Leeds supporters could not have picked a much better game to go and watch Raphinha, as he scored and assisted as Barcelona twice came from behind to draw against Mallorca.
Raphinha left Elland Road well over 12 months ago in a deal worth around £50 million as he secured his dream move to the Camp Nou.
In terms of his performances, Raphinha has had an indifferent time of it at Barca, though his goals and assists output is something that cannot be argued with.
Raphinha meets Leeds fans after Barcelona draw
Despite having only spent two years at Leeds, Raphinha will always be forever revered in West Yorkshire for his contributions to the club.
He scored 17 goals and provided 12 assists in his 67 appearances for the Whites, with his ability on the ball something that has not been seen in these parts for a long time.
The 26-year-old almost single-handedly kept Leeds in the Premier League during his final season at the club, with his performance in the final day win at Brentford one that will always be remembered.
It is brilliant to see that Raphinha has not forgotten his time at Leeds, who provided him the platform in the Premier League to go on and play on the biggest stage.
As mentioned, he is a player who will always be fondly remembered at Elland Road and hopefully he can continue to do big things at Barcelona.
