I don't think so.
One bad game doesn't cancel out his exceptional quality. Also, Raphinha plays better on the left, in the last match, he was moved to the right, this may have impacted his playing style.
Besides when he started cutting in, in the second half while moving to the middle, he caused some disturbances in the box.

There's a man in my area who sells provisions.
Small shop, Nothing fancy; Milo, noodles, groundnut oil, the basics.
He's been there since I was a child. Same spot, Same shop.
I stopped by last month and we got talking.
He told me business was harder now. That the same goods he used to buy for 50,000 now cost him 97,000. That his customers are the same people but their money doesn't go as far anymore so they buy less. That he's working harder than he ever has and somehow falling further behind every year.
He's not lazy. This man wakes up at 5am every day. He has no off days, no sick days.
He's just a man running as fast as he can on a road that keeps getting longer.
I didn't give him a crypto lecture. That's not what he needed in that moment.
But I went home thinking about him.
About how the system that's failing him isn't an accident.
When the bank prints more money, his 50,000 savings quietly becomes worth less without anyone telling him. When fuel prices go up his suppliers charge more. When the exchange rate moves his imported goods cost more. Every single mechanism works against him and he has no vote in any of it.
He just absorbs the consequences of decisions made in rooms he'll never enter by people who'll never visit his shop.
This is why I take the conversation about Bitcoin and hard assets seriously.
Not because I want to get rich.
Because I've seen what soft money does to hardworking people.
It doesn't rob them all at once, that would be too obvious.
It robs them slowly, Year by year. Purchase by purchase. Until one day they look up and realise the decades of work didn't build what they thought it would.
The man in my area deserves a currency that works as hard as he does.
One that doesn't lose value while he sleeps.
One that nobody can devalue with a policy decision at midnight.
That currency exists.
It just doesn't have a shop on his street yet.
My uncle called me in 2021.
He was breathless. Like something had happened.
"I just made 1m in two weeks."
I asked him what he bought.
He didn't know the name properly. Something with a dog on it.
I told him to take out his initial investment at least. He laughed at me. Said I didn't understand how this thing works. Said his friend who introduced him made 7 million already.
Two months later he called again.
"It went down."
I asked how much was left.
Silence.
Then: "Nothing. It went to zero."
He had put in everything, not his spending money. Everything; Savings he had been keeping since 2016. Money he was going to use to expand his shop.
Gone in 60 days.
And the painful part is he wasn't stupid. He was just early enough to see it work for someone else and late enough to be the exit liquidity for the people who got in before him.
That's the game most people don't know they're playing.
Great technology solves problems you didn't know other people had.
Legendary technology solves problems other people stopped caring about.
I think Tesla and SpaceX are both.
There was no award when Newton discovered three laws of forces, nor when da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa.
There was no Grammy for Beethoven or Chopin, nor a Nobel Prize in Literature for Homer.
Masterpieces do not seek transient trophies but aim to be timeless.
