Raphinha’s wife, the Barcelona footballer, has denounced on her social networks that she suffered racist and sexist insults on her social networks after the Champions League match that Barcelona ended up winning 5-4 against Benfica thanks to a heroic goal by her husband in the last moments.
“You know I hardly ever expose this kind of thing, but this is not a third of what people attack us, many times, rival fans, etc. But this time I decided to publish it so you can see how sick people are in the world… I had not yet looked at my Instagram, I had not yet seen the racist attacks that my husband and my son were suffering. But it’s there for you to see how sick it is. People are,” published Natalia Rodrigues Belloli.
“This is just a small sample of the attacks we have been receiving,” shared Natalia Rodrigues, the Brazilian striker’s wife who scored two goals at the Estadio da Luz.
“Brazilian whore”, “wife of a cheating monkey”, “son of a bitch” or “your son is from Kounde” are some of the insults suffered by Raphinha’s wife, who also received death wishes against her youngest son, who is under two years old, and her husband.
After her complaint, several of the internet users who insulted Raphinha’s wife and family deleted their accounts.
