Video: Ivan Rakitic's show of loyalty and respect to Sevilla fans will melt your heart

Ivan Rakitic greeted the Sevilla fans after Barcelona’s 2-2 draw with them

Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic’s heartwarming gesture towards the Sevilla fans after the Catalans’ 2-2 draw with them was very interesting to watch.

The Croatian, who played for the Andalusians for 3 years, before moving to Catalunya this past summer, had a very close relationship with the fan base, and it showed as he applauded the home fans, hugged a couple of them and gave away his studs and jersey.

Once that was done, he proceeded to give away other items of his kit. The Croat clearly still adores the fans in Seville and has not forgotten the love and support he was showered with by them.
