Barcelona fans can't believe what star player Raphinha was spotted doing immediately their semi-final win over Atletico Madrid in the Cope del Rey.

On Wednesday night, Spanish giants Barcelona booked their place in the Copa del Rey final with a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their semi-final clash.

After a thrilling 4-4 clash at Camp Nou in the first leg last month, a goal from Ferran Torres at the Metropolitano was enough to progress to the final, where they will meet historic rivals Real Madrid.

Immediately after the match, footage of Barcelona star Raphinha in the tunnel post-match emerged online, and fans are shocked.

During the huge five week break between the first and second legs of the semi-finals, many players from both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona represented their country over the international break.

Over the break, Brazil were beaten their historic South American rivals Argentina 4-1 in World Cup qualifying match that saw Raphinha receive tough treatment from fans after stirring up the rivalry in the build-up to the match.

But after Wednesday's Cope del Rey match, the winger was able to put this rivalry aside as he was spotted consoling Atletico Madrid and Argentina midfielder Rodrigo de Paul as they swapped shirts in the tunnel post-match.

Posting the clip on X, football pundit Sara Poraria wrote: "Raphinha is the definition of class. Meeting with Rodrigo de Paul post match to swap jerseys after Argentina beat Brazil 4-1 two weeks ago in the international break. Respeto."

Another added: "Whatever happens at the national level stays at the national level. This is club side."

While one Barcelona fan claimed: "This is Peak Leadership, a quality we haven’t had in years."

And an Argentina fan explained: "For those who don’t know after the Brazil Argentina game inside, the Argentine players all talked to Raphinha and things were more than ok. It’s respect."

The Copa del Rey final between Barcelona and Real Madrid will take place on the 26 April at the La Cartuja stadium in Seville.
