Ballon d'Or contender Raphinha shares a hilarious video with his son and Barcelona mascot
Barcelona star Raphinha, eagerly awaiting the Ballon d'Or awards ceremony, delighted his Instagram followers by posting a hilarious video featuring his son and Catculer, the club's beloved mascot cat.
The video shows Raphinha's son playing football in the family backyard with the mascot, even scoring a goal against him. The mascot then presents the boy with a gift box, which he excitedly unwraps.
Raphinha's partner, Taia Belloli, was thrilled with Barcelona's thoughtful gesture for their son and added a caption to the video: “Who needs a squirrel when you have @catculer 😂🤏🏽 Thank you, @fcbarcelona, that's what family does ❤️.”
As a reminder, the Ballon d'Or ceremony takes place tonight in Paris. After a phenomenal last season, Raphinha is among the leading contenders for the prestigious prize, though PSG star Ousmane Dembélé is widely regarded as the frontrunner.
