RB Leipzig defender Benjamin Paa Kwesi Henrichs, born in Germany to a Ghanaian mother and a German father, recently delighted fans by showcasing his cultural pride during the team's celebration following their victory in the DFB Pokal, the German League Cup.
In a heartwarming gesture, Henrichs engaged in a lively conversation with teammate Dani Olmo in the Ghanaian language, Twi.
The celebration took place on the team bus as RB Leipzig basked in their 2-0 win against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, June 3, 2023.
Henrichs captured the memorable moment in a video shared on his popular TikTok page, adding the caption "My Ghanaian brother is back."

The trio indulged in the mouthwatering dish while Henrichs playfully assigned Ghanaian names to his teammates, referring to Olmo as "Kofi" and Soboslai as "Kwame."
The video captured the camaraderie and cultural exchange within the RB Leipzig squad, emphasizing their unity and appreciation for diverse traditions.
