It's not the first time that Brazilian Rafinha has experienced strange weather after a feat by his team, as he repeated with Barcelona the ritual he did last year after his former club Leeds United remained in the Premier League.
After the Barcelona stars finished celebrating the league title last Saturday, the Brazilian international walked on his knees all the space of the "Camp Nou" stadium carrying the Brazilian flag, expressing joy in a celebration that has become especially associated with him since last season.

Rafinha has made 32 LaLiga appearances this season, scoring 7 goals and assisting the same, while his total in all competitions has reached 10 goals and 12 assists in 46 appearances.
After contributing last season to his former team Leeds United's 2-1 win over Brentford in the last game of the Premier League, and preventing them from being relegated to the top flight, Rafinha appeared to be on his knees on the pitch in front of Brentford fans, in a shot that raised many questions about the reasons for the move he made after the end of the decisive clash in the Premier League.

According to media reports, Rafinha got on his knees and began to walk in this way on the pitch as part of a popular ritual for his family, knowing that he had previously announced that he would do so if his team Leeds remained in the Premier League, and after achieving this goal he fulfilled what he promised.
