While he joined the Brazilian selection to play the last qualifying matches at the 2026 World Cup, Raphinha spoke on social networks on Friday to denounce an incident in Disneyland Paris. The FC Barcelona striker has published several videos on his Instagram account, accusing an employee of the park of having refused to take care of his son Gael, and questioning the possibly racist nature of this behavior. “Your employees are a shame. They should not treat people in this way, especially a child. They are supposed to make children happy, not despise them. I prefer to call it contempt rather than anything else. It's a shame “he started, before raising his tone in the following stories.
“I understand the fatigue of those who work in this sector, but why did they kiss all white children, not mine?” I hate Disneyland Paris. He just wanted a greeting and a hug. Fortunately for you, he does not yet understand. Disneyland Paris, this employee is shit, an idiot. ” Raphinha's wife Natalia Rodrigues also reacted, explaining that the employee had stretched both hands to a little girl to avoid stretching them to their son. Contacted by The Parisianthe amusement park explained this Sunday that it “Regret the experience lived by the family” of Raphinha, and wishes to apologize in good and due form. “We want to offer a magical experience for each of our visitors without exception.
