Raphinha pokes fun at Endrick – many Brazilians did same

Barcelona winger Raphinha has playfully mocked Real Madrid’s new signing Endrick for choosing Jude Bellingham over Brazilian legend Neymar Jr. in a recent Q&A session.

Raphinha responded with laughing face emojis, joining Thiago Silva in poking fun at Endrick’s decision.

The controversy began when Endrick, a fellow Brazilian, opted for Bellingham over Neymar, a choice that didn’t sit well with many in Brazil.

Neymar, who played for Barcelona from 2013 to 2017 and formed a historic attacking trident with Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, is still widely admired by many, including Barcelona’s emerging talents.

Raphinha’s lighthearted jab at Endrick suggests that he, like many others, found the young player’s comments disrespectful to Neymar’s status as a Brazilian football icon.
