One of the biggest contributors to Barcelona’s amazing start to the 2024/25 campaign is Raphinha, who is enjoying the best season of his career under Hansi Flick and continues to lead the Blaugrana both with his play and his leadership on and off the pitch.
Raphinha was in the scoresheet again in the midweek win over Mallorca, with two goals that improved his tally to 16 goals and 10 assists in 21 games for Barça this season. And the Brazilian reportedly had to convince his coach to even be on the pitch, as Flick was planning to rest Raphinha alongside Robert Lewandowski on Tuesday.
