Raphinha was a RW his whole career at Rennes, Sporting & Leeds and done well there which is why he earned a move to Barça after his stellar performances with Leeds.
Barça randomly spawned the best right winger in the world & Nico Williams decided to ruin his career and sign a 10 year contract at Bilbao so Raphinha gets converted to a LW for the 24/25 and drops 56 G/A in 57 club appearances & was undoubtedly the best LW in the world.
25/26 he was injured a lot, but still got 21 goals and 7 assists in 2200 minutes which is insane from LW.
This season! Barça lost Lewandowski and Ferran Torres whilst also missing out on Jullian Alvarez so had no choice, but to play Raphinha as a 9 & he’s producing some of the most insane numbers you’ll every see every 3 days.
What an incredible footballer he should be an example for any aspiring pro.
🚨✨ 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐃: Raphinha achieves the 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 goalscoring start by any player in the 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 of Barcelona, with 14 goals scored in 8 games. He surpasses César’s 1948/49 feat. #FCB 🇧🇷💙❤️
😭 Lamine: “At Bernabéu, I watched Rashford play and thought to myself that he doesn't yet know what a Clásico means” 🔵🔴
“Then in the return leg, he truly understood what a Clásico means, when he scored a goal from a free kick and played with a different intensity” 💨
“When you come from La Masia, from your very first Clásico, you already know what this match means, and you know that this match is war” #FCB ⚔️
⚔️ Lamine: “I've outdone Mbappé in all the titles. As the best player in the world, maybe we're the only two but I think I’d deserve the Ballon d'Or this year” #FCB 🔵🔴
🚨🌟 Lamine Yamal: “How I grew up in football? It was when we watched the full games, from minute zero to ninety, and I didn't check how many goals or assists each player had” 👀
“That was when everyone enjoyed football, you saw a midfielder who maybe didn't score 20 goals, but who was a delight like Ozil, who I liked a lot. I think today's generation sees the game sees the game differently” 🫂
“I tell my mother that I'll never go back home angry because I didn’t score a goal that match, scoring a goal is just a statistic — I get angry if I don't touch the ball and if I couldn’t enjoy it on the pitch, that's what makes me angry the most” #FCB ✨🪄
🚨👀 Lamine Yamal: “The problem now is that people are valuing things that don’t help win the Ballon d’Or. When they say that a PSG player has to win it because they won the Champions League” 🏆
“When you win the Champions League, they give you the Champions League trophy, which is for the best team, and the prize PSG has. Another different thing is that in PSG there is the best player in the world” 🔴🔵
“The Ballon d’Or has to be given to the best player in the world and that's it. Not to a player who simply scores 80 goals, because when you score 80 goals they give you the 'top-scorer' award of the season” ⚽️
“They are different things that people are not understanding. The best player in the world is the one that you, as a commentator, are watching the game and you are enjoying it, is different from everyone” #FCB ⭐️💙❤️
