@@hendramanaf240 Yes. Raphina also did that to protect lamine from the crowd. From the start of the match, there were some Madrid fans (not all) from that particular side were doing racist chants against lamine -telling him to go clean shoes (bcz some African immigrants do that for living in Spain). When lamine scored he made sure to went there to that section and told them to calm down and showed them his name at the back of the jersey and to make of them he showed them his braces. Doing racist chants against anyone is despicable but doing it to a 17 year old boy is a new low utterly shameful.

Since august the captains from the voting are from top to bottom: Marc-André ter Stegen (1), Ronald Araujo (2), Frenkie de Jong (3), Raphinha (4) and Pedri (5). So as seen, 3 players had to get injured so Raphinha could wear the captain bracelet as it happened, and he's the newcomer from the list, so they must really respect him inside doors. Also, I think, not sure, if none of those players are on the pitch, the bracelet goes to the most veteran player (in the club), for example, the 5 captains are out, Lewa is there but also Gavi, then the captain would be Gavi (the most veteran in the first team that is).

He just needed more time to level up, something he probably wasn't able to really start tapping into until he was 19 or so.

Raphinha finding his groove rightly gives everyone else hope; "If I could only play as I was meant to play, I think it would work out" we can all tell ourselves, because in his case, it's clearly true.

The lesson to be learnt here is to pay more attention and respect the players you can see put in the work, have tremendous passion and dedication. In Raphinha's case you could see that very clearly in all the clubs you went to. In cases like his, where there's all this but only flashes of brilliance, or perhaps brilliance but very inconsistently, it can be just a matter of time of external factors for the player to EXPLODE. I believed in him even when the hate was all he got, and even got a Barça shirt with his name on it. I can't put into words how happy and proud it makes me to see him getting his so so deserved flowers. Here's hoping that his performances continue to be like this

I liked when Barca signed Raphinha it was a sign that Xavi wanted a player with a high work rate who could press and work well up and down the wing defensively. Yes what let him down was is offense output as he wasnt a good 1v1 dribbler and Xavi's 4-3-3 positional footbal always wanted him his wingers wide to touch line to be able to attack the half spaces this led to reduced chances, vs Hansi Flick 4-2-3-1 has allowed more central and inside forward position which has helped unlock his runs in behind on a lot of his goals and more positional freedom. He has also been great from free kicks/inswinging corners with his left foot. Raphinha is such a key player in Flick's Barcelona it's great to see Raphinha get the praise he deserves for all the effort he gives on the field for Barca!

Brazilians and myself had a really bad impression of Raphinha, his perfomance during world cup 2022 was underwhelmingn he didn't stay long enough for us to see him play and we don't usually watch laliga or premier league games in Brazil, so it was hard to see his value.

also balde on the left side helping raphinha a lot, balde could drible 1v1 also great at defense, could overlap to give raphinha options. Moreover, dani almo playing as a 10 but could also play as lw help rapha a lot bcs they can switch position depending on circumstances

Any team would love to have him says a lot about his quality

While in Madrid Vini(even after spending 5 years at Madrid), Mbappe fighting for LW now Jude added too, Raphinha came as RW and played as LW got criticism so much adapted and now he has no fixed position in attack he can play anywhere upfront in opposition half.

The first time I saw Raphinha at Leeds few years ago I knew he's a savage and the Barca move wasn't a surprise

Raphinha has been one of our best players since the end of winter break in February 2024, he's arguably been the best player on the planet

Raphinia is the definition of "give him a coach that understands him, and the world will know what he has become"

You should make a video about Ajax and how they seem to be on the way up again. Things were really bad the past two seasons, but with Farioli we beat PSV and Feyenoord in 1 week and have a gd of 12 in the UEL after 4 games.

Raphinha and Yamal my beloved ♥ I never HATED raphinha, just that he was super mid before. I actually respected his goal contributions, quite good overall. What i must say is that i did NOT expect him to go super saiyan this year. Immense stuff! And Yamal... what else can i say, this kid simultaneously makes me happy as a spain and barca fan and makes me feel a crisis cus he's soo young and doing soo much lol. Incredible stuff. May this season come with a treble!!!

Barce fan here. Xavi wasn't using raphinha properly. He wanted raphinha to hug the touch line and beat his opponent one vs one similar to what Dembele was doing. As soon as flick allowed raphinha to play a bit more central he became a monster

You're actually correct. When Raphinha went to Barca, he wasn't a big club player. He improved season by season and made himself a big club player.

4:29 at that time he was signed i thought Anthony was better more unpredictable and output wise but the guy completely changed it from the PSG game
