The Brazilian international has been particularly decisive in the Catalan game since the start of the season. Hansi Flick does not hide his admiration for the striker, who has established himself as an indispensable element of the Barcelona system.
Raphinha has been walking on water since the start of this 2024-25 financial year. If Barça dominates La Liga, with three points ahead of Real Madrid, it is largely thanks to the brilliant form of the Brazilian striker.
Involved in 12 of the goals scored by the Blaugranas in 11 appearances in the Catalan jersey (6 goals, 6 assists), the versatile right winger was praised by his coach Hansi Flick after the success on the Alaves pitch (0- 3) this Sunday. The German coach particularly highlighted the role of his player. Captain in the absence of Marc-André Ter Stegen, who suffered a serious knee injury, Raphinha delivered two assists to Robert Lewandowski, who scored a hat-trick against the Babazorros.
Raphinha never satisfied
“Raphinha’s attitude is excellent! He’s a real leader, he’s incredible. He is important to us in his position. His movements are dynamic, but I think he can improve. Even when he scores goals, he always wants to score more. I am very happy with him”confided Hansi Flick at a press conference.
These words demonstrate the confidence that the Barcelona coach places in Raphinha. It should be added that the native of Porto Alegre is currently the player most used by Flick in front
Jules Koundé (923 minutes), with 931 minutes of play to his credit, including 751 in La Liga and 180 in the Champions League.
