“I’m not Raphinha, I’m a woman”: Barcelona fans got angry at the Brazilian for not greeting them, but she was a player from the women’s team

Kerolin Nicoli didn’t expect to have to roll down the window to explain herself 🚗

The Brazilian forward, signed last week from Manchester City for FC Barcelona’s women’s team, ran into a group of fans this morning who surrounded her car at the training complex. They were all shouting one name: Raphinha. They were convinced that the Brazilian star from the first team was refusing to greet the children waiting for him.

Faced with their insistence, Kerolin had no choice but to clear up the mistake live: “I’m not Raphinha, I’m a woman”, she told them before leaving the scene. 😅 The scene, as awkward as it was amusing, leaves one question hanging: how much longer until women’s football stops living in the shadow of its male counterparts?
