Brazilian footballer Rodinei celebrated Olympiacos’ Superleague triumph in unforgettable fashion, joining iconic Greek singer Despina Vandi on stage for a surprise duet that lit up a popular Athenian nightclub.
Just hours after Olympiacos mathematically secured the Greek Superleague title with a crucial win over AEK Athens — a match where Rodinei played a pivotal role — the 32-year-old defender took the celebrations from the pitch to the nightlife scene.
In an unexpected moment of joy and showmanship, Rodinei appeared at the venue where Despina Vandi is currently performing and stunned the crowd by singing alongside her. The song of choice? “Panselinos” (“Full Moon”) — one of Vandi’s most beloved hits.
Fluent in the lyrics and singing confidently in Greek, Rodinei left both fans and Vandi herself surprised and delighted. Audience members enthusiastically cleared space for the footballer, as he sang heartily next to the singer, who appeared visibly moved by his enthusiasm and command of the song.
The heartwarming performance quickly made waves on social media, with fans praising Rodinei not just for his performance on the field, but for his cultural embrace off it.
