Lionel Messi approves of Rafinha’s gum-juggling wizardry.
Barcelona young gun Rafinha has been garnering a reputation around the Nou Camp as a trickster.
The Brazilian has been constantly cropping up in the endless slew of training videos doing some magical skill moves with the ball.
Well this time, he has impressed arguably the greatest footballer on the planet with some more skills, but this time without a football.
A video emerged of Rafinha doing some keepy-uppy tricks with a piece of chewing gum that any normal human being would struggle to do with a regulation ball.
Messi was seen smiling in appreciation as his team-mate volleyed, headed and kneed the piece of gum and eventually managed to kick it back into his mouth.
While it may not be the most hygienic of tricks, it certainly is impressive to watch.
