Barcelona star recreated a famous Neymar moment during win over Espanyol

Barcelona star Raphinha on Sunday paid something of a tribute to fellow countryman and Blaugrana icon Neymar Jr.

This came by way of a moment of skill during the club’s meeting with Espanyol.

Barcelona marked their return to action a short time ago, welcoming neighbours Espanyol to Montjuïc for a derby showdown.

When all was said and done, Hansi Flick’s troops made it six wins on the trot across all competitions, courtesy of a 3-1 triumph.

Amongst the goals on the evening was the aforementioned Raphinha, who, amid a stellar opening to the campaign, found the net midway through the first-half.

And yet, post-match, wide-man Raphinha has seen his name take its place front and centre in the chatter in Catalunya’s capital for an altogether different reason.

This comes after the 27-year-old recreated a piece of skill made famous by compatriot Neymar at Barcelona, taking the ball down whilst airborne, with one foot behind the other:
