🚨🇧🇷 Raphinha leaves Brazil camp and returns to Barcelona with immediate effect.
Decision follows minor muscle issue suffered vs Australia on Tuesday.
Not seen as serious/long injury but no risks will be taken, as @cahemota reports. 🔵🔴
I’m not even gonna lie… I miss my boy.
Will never forget in 22/23 when the world and the media turned their backs on him and all he had was the Liverpool fans.
He threw it all away. Shame.
Qué bonito esto, serán campeones del mundo pero no dejan de ser dos chavales que juegan juntos al fútbol desde que eran unos críos https://t.co/RypPzTVSn1
I’ve always had a deep admiration for Spain.
Not just because they win, but because of the way they see football. They treat the ball with respect, value intelligence over chaos, and prove that the collective will always be greater than any individual.
From the golden generation to this new era, Spain have stayed true to an identity that few nations have had the courage to protect. Even through difficult years, they never abandoned their principles.
Watching them become world champions again is genuinely special.
Sixteen years of waiting. A new generation carrying the weight of a nation’s history. Tonight, they didn’t just lift the World Cup they reminded the football world why I fell in love with Spanish football in the first place.
When Luis De La Fuente won the U19 European Championship in 2015 he did it with Rodri, Unai Simon and Mikel Merino
In 2019 when he won the Euro U21, he coached Dani Olmo, Fabian Ruiz, Mike Oyarzabal, Unai Simon, Mikel Merino, Ferran Torres
Then in 2020 he coached the Spanish team to silver in the Tokyo Olympics. That team had Zubimendi, Cucurella, Pau Torres, Eric Garcia, Pedri.
A man who knows his players and knows his team. Taught them as boys and now guiding them as men.
