Nicknamed ‘Papu’, the 28-year-old Serie A ace has jetted off on holiday with his family to Dubai along with Chilean team-mate Mauricio Pinilla and his family.
Papu decided to have a kickabout with his son, Bautista, that ended up with the kid on the ground after he chopped him down while trying to get the ball.
