Rafinha Turns Santa: Barça Star Spreads Food, Gifts, and Song in Brazil
Rafinha distributes food, gifts and joy in his Brazilian hometown.

Rafinha's Christmas Charity Tour

Rafinha, a Barcelona star, used his Brazil holiday break to perform a charitable gesture for the people of his hometown.

ESPN posted a video showing him handing out food and gifts to those in need.

The network said Rafinha visited a small Brazilian town and offered help with food and gifts.

This moment came after Rafinha and his wife Natalia Belloli launched a charity project in the Morro da Vila Maria da Conceição neighborhood.

Rafinha stood among locals, carrying groceries and Christmas presents to distribute amid the neighborhood's happy cheers.

He also sang at a local party, a touching display of his commitment to the community.

Barcelona's star invited neighborhood kids to perform songs, adding joy to what became a true festival.

Rafinha is having a strong season with Barcelona, with 7 goals and 3 assists in 14 matches so far.

Punchline: If Rafinha keeps this up, he might become the club's Christmas committee chief.

Punchline: Score a goal, give a gift; apparently his assists now come with a wrapped ribbon.
