Ivan Rakitic followed Sevilla to the Nou Camp on Sunday, April 3, to play against his former club, FC Barcelona in a Spanish La Liga game and did not fail to give more than expected.
In the Spanish La Liga game, FC Barcelona beat Sevilla 1-0 to continue with their good run of form that has pushed them to the second spot on the league table, 12 points behind the first-placed Real Madrid.
After the defeat, the 34-year-old Croatia central midfielder decided to go all the way to appreciate the home fans who were still at the stadium.
A clip that surfaced on social media hours after the game showed the footballer hugging an unidentified fan near the pitch before he handed his shirt to the fan.
Afterward, another fan came and Ivan Rakitic hugged the fan before he decided to get the fan a gift. To the amazement of the fans on the stand, the football star took off his shorts and handed it over to the fan.
The 34-year-old Croatian footballer who spent around six seasons of his football career playing for FC Barcelona was left with only his panties.
As if he didn’t know that the moment would be captured on camera, Rakitic shyly applauded the fans before he jugged away.
