Was Raphinha sending Barcelona a message with new culé look?
The Brazilian footballer took a leaf out of the Araujo book of hairstyles, in a nod to the Barcelona colours.
Barcelona marked the celebration of their 27th League title in a grand manner at the Camp Nou on Saturday. The passionate fans of the club gathered to cheer on Xavi Hernández’s team for their season and solid performance in the domestic championship. The festivities not only revolved around the players and coaching staff but attention was also drawn to Raphinha’s striking new look, which caused a sensation on social media.
The Brazilian, who is rumored to be on the radar for the upcoming summer transfer market, has expressed his affection for Barça through his latest hairstyle, potentially signaling his desire to continue with the Catalan team next season. The notable feature of his new hairstyle is the incorporation of the blaugrana colors on the left side of his golden-dyed hair.
“Araujo pulled it off, but Raphinha’s is awful”
Raphinha’s new look has caused a stir on social media platforms, sparking varied reactions among users.
While many have expressed their approval of the Brazilian footballer’s hairstyle, others had other opinions. Some comments we spotted on social media included, ‘Who else is booking an appointment with their hairdresser to replicate Raphinha’s new look?’, ‘Raphinha’s new hairstyle is a work of art,’ ‘Araujo pulled it off, but Raphinha’s look is awful,’ and ‘What’s the story behind Raphinha’s unique hairstyle?’
As highlighted in the comments, Raphinha seems to have taken inspiration from his teammate Ronald Araujo. The Uruguayan defender had sported a similar hairstyle during Barcelona’s recent match against Espanyol (2-4), which sealed the league title. This mirrored the look previously donned by Raphinha himself during the match against Real Sociedad (1-2).
