Raphinha offered Barcelona’s penalty to a teammate during Mallorca clash | OneFootball

A classy gesture on the part of Barcelona star Raphinha was noted during the club’s latest outing.

Barcelona are of course fresh off clinching a timely return to winning ways, on Tuesday night.

After making the trip to Son Moix for a La Liga meeting with RCD Mallorca, the Blaugrana ran riot, en route to an eventual 5-1 triumph.

The aforementioned Raphinha, meanwhile, proved himself the star of the show, notching a brace to scoop Man of the Match honours on the evening.

The Brazilian’s first of the clash came early in the 2nd-half when, with the scoreline locked at a goal apiece, he stepped up to slot home a confident spot-kick.

This, though, as reported by Diario Sport, only came after Raphinha had offered the penalty to teammate Lamine Yamal.

Youngster Lamine was responsible for winning the spot-kick, after being felled in the hosts’ area at Son Moix.

With Robert Lewandowski on the bench, the pecking order from 12 yards in Hansi Flick’s squad was therefore not entirely clear.

Lamine, however, opted to turn the opportunity down, a decision which, based on the outcome, certainly cannot be argued with.
