Barcelona winger Raphinha has sent a message to Leeds United forward Rodrigo on Instagram following his post after the match against Bournemouth.

Leeds got the better of Bournemouth 4-3 at Elland Road on Saturday.

It was the West Yorkshire club’s second successive win in the Premier League following a 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Anfield.

Spain international star Rodrigo scored for Leeds against Bournemouth.

The £26 million (BBC Sport) ace, who can operate as a striker, winger or attacking midfielder, found the back of the net in the third minute of the match from the penalty spot.

Rodrigo has expressed his delight at the win on Instagram by making an emotional post, and his former Leeds teammate Raphinha has responded to it, as you can see below.

The former Leeds star has also given two assists in five UEFA Champions League matches for Barca so far this campaign.
