Video:Braithwaite mocks shameful moment during Barca unveiling
Barcelona forward Martin Braithwaite has addressed his embarrassing attempt at keepy uppies during his unveiling at Camp Nou with a new video from isolation.
The striker signed in February after Barca were granted an emergency exception with long-term injuries to Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele.

But when he was put in front of the cameras for the first time the 28-year-old cracked under the pressure.
The striker attempted a series of tricks which he was unable to pull off leading to many fans mocking him on social media.
After those efforts failed he proceeded to casually dribble the ball backwards and forwards.
But now Braithwaite has redeemed himself with a video of him practicing in isolation as the football season continues to be disrupted by coronavirus.
The forward captioned the post: ‘THIS is how it was meant to go…’
This time Braithwaite was able to flick the ball over his head and control it with ease.
Oh no 😂

Perhaps there was less pressure in his garden than there was in one of the most famous grounds in world football.
Braithwaite isn’t the only footballer to have been keeping himself busy during the indefinite break.
Several stars have attempted ‘stay at home’ challenges with the likes of Lionel Messi doing keepie uppies with a roll of toilet paper while Paul Pogba took part in pram racing with his wife.
