Barcelona star Raphinha appeared on the Instagram account of his wife, Natalia Belloli, performing a rather unusual act. The footballer traversed the entire pitch at Montjuïc stadium on his knees—a ground where the Catalans played this season due to the renovation at Camp Nou.

This gesture fulfilled a promise the Brazilian had made—he declared that if Barcelona clinched the Spanish league title, he would cross their home pitch on his knees.

The video shows Raphinha moving on his knees from one goal to the other, and upon reaching the opposite goal line, he bows down and kisses the turf.

Worth noting, his son Gael runs across the field with a ball beside the Brazilian, dressed in a Barcelona kit with “Papa” printed on the back.

As a reminder, this season the Catalan side secured yet another Spanish league title. The triumph came two matchdays before the end of the campaign, after Barcelona defeated local rivals Espanyol in the Catalan derby.

This La Liga season, Raphinha featured in 35 matches, netting 18 goals and providing 11 assists.
