RONALD ARAUJO forgot the rules of football in the middle of Barcelona's opening match of the season.
The defender made a bizarre mistake during his side's 0-0 draw away to Getafe on Sunday.
Barca made a frustrating start to their La Liga title defence as they were held by their opponents during a feisty encounter.
Both sides were reduced to 10-men, with Raphinha sent off for the visitors after elbowing Getafe's Gaston Alvarez.
However, it was Araujo's moment of madness which caught the eyes of fans watching in the stadium and at home.

Just moments into the second half, an overhit pass was chipped out to the Uruguayan on the right flank.
As the ball looked set to sail over his head, he jumped up and caught it, to the confusion of his team-mates.
Araujo immediately looked sheepish as he realised what he had done, putting his hand on his head before jogging back into position.
Although a free-kick was given, Araujo escaped without a booking, despite the complaints of the Getafe players.
Reacting to the incident, one fan tweeted: "Can’t believe he got away without a card there."

Meanwhile, one more simply commented: "La Liga is a shambles."
