Why Raphinha could be Hansi Flick’s most valuable player at Barcelona

I remember watching Raphinha at Leeds United under Marcelo Bielsa. For me, he was the most exciting, and impactful player in the Premier League.

It was disappointing, but not surprising, to see the Brazilian struggle to rediscover his footballing magic under Xavi.

The Hansi Flick chapter at Barcelona, however, is starting to feel like the beginning of a renewal not only for the club, but also their star forward.

One thing that many have noticed is how free and open the style of play feels compared to other Barcelona teams from the past five years.
