They know each other from the Restinga neighborhood, in Porto Alegre, when one started out in music and the other in soccer. The Barça crack between 2003 and 2008 was the godfather of the group, who visited him on numerous occasions in Barcelona at that time. Raphinha He does not fall into the cliché when he says that he has been a Barcelona fan since he was a child. He was born in 1996 and grew up seeing the wonders of Ronnie, not only on television, but also in private on dates with friends. When Raphinha began to stand out with the ball, little brother always wanted him to dress as a azulgrana to relive those unforgettable years he met with Ronaldinho.

There was also the mother, proud of her son, two brothers, a sister-in-law, relatives of his wife and yes, also the cousin who acted as a ‘double’ at the airport to mislead the press.
