Raphinha

Raphinha has developed from a talented winger fighting to establish himself at FC Barcelona into one of the most important players and leaders of Hansi Flick’s team.

The Brazilian arrived from Leeds United in 2022 and immediately contributed to a LaLiga-winning campaign, but his career reached another level after Flick became Barcelona coach. Raphinha transformed into an elite goalscorer; creator; strong reflection; and pressing leader; produced one of the best Champions League campaigns by a Barça attacker in recent years; and finished fifth in the 2025 Ballon d’Or voting.

He is now Barcelona’s No. 11, is contracted until 30 June 2028, and, in August 2026, has been acting as the team’s first captain while the final 2026/27 captaincy vote is pending.

After recovering from the injury problems that affected the end of his 2025/26 club season and his 2026 World Cup, Raphinha returned strongly in preseason and was named the Star Player of the 2026 Joan Gamper Trophy.

FC Barcelona officially lists Raphinha at 176 cm and 64 kg. The club describes him as a technically gifted winger with strong dribbling, combination play, and decision-making. Barça also identifies him as a naturally left-footed winger who can cut inside to shoot or create.

Early Life in Porto Alegre

Raphinha was born on 14 December 1996 in Porto Alegre, one of Brazil’s great football cities.

Unlike many Brazilian stars who joined major academies extremely young, Raphinha’s path toward elite football was less direct.

He developed through the youth system of Avaí FC, where he eventually made his breakthrough as a young professional.

His performances in Brazil attracted attention from Europe, beginning a career that would take him through Portugal, France, England, and eventually Barcelona.

Avaí and the Move to European Football

Raphinha made his senior breakthrough with Avaí before moving to Portugal.

His first European destination was Vitória de Guimarães.

Initially, he divided his time between development football and the senior side before establishing himself as a first-team player.

Portugal proved to be an important environment for his development.

It gave Raphinha the opportunity to adjust to European tactical football while retaining the dribbling, creativity, and attacking personality developed in Brazil.

Sporting CP

After impressing with Vitória, Raphinha joined Sporting CP for the 2018/19 season.

records,

His time in Lisbon brought the first major trophies of his senior career.

Sporting won both:

  • Taça de Portugal

  • Taça da Liga

during the 2018/19 campaign.

Raphinha’s performances also established him as one of the more exciting young wide attackers in Portuguese football.

The next stage would take him to one of Europe’s top-five leagues.

Rennes

Raphinha moved to Stade Rennais in France at the end of the 2018/19 season.

Barcelona’s official profile notes that he became one of Rennes’ most expensive signings at the time.

His stay in France was relatively short, but he demonstrated that his direct attacking game could translate successfully to a stronger league.

Raphinha’s combination of dribbling, acceleration, and final-third creativity soon attracted Premier League interest.

Leeds United

In the summer of 2020, Raphinha joined Leeds United.

The Premier League became the stage on which he developed into an internationally recognized attacker.

Across his two seasons in England, Barcelona credits him with the following:

17 goals
10 assists

for Leeds.

His second campaign was especially important.

Leeds became involved in a difficult relegation battle, and Raphinha played a major role in helping the club remain in the Premier League.

His performances attracted interest from several major European teams.

But Raphinha wanted Barcelona.

Signing for FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona completed Raphinha’s signing from Leeds United in July 2022.

The Brazilian signed an initial contract until 2027 with a €1 billion release clause.

At his presentation, Raphinha described joining Barça as a childhood dream.

The connection was deeply personal.

Ronaldinho had been one of his greatest inspirations growing up, and Raphinha had long followed Barcelona because of the club’s Brazilian stars and attacking football.

2022/23: Immediate Impact and First LaLiga Title

Raphinha’s first season at Barcelona was productive.

Wearing the No. 22 shirt, he finished his debut campaign with:

10 goals
12 assists

according to FC Barcelona’s official account.

More importantly, Barcelona won LaLiga.

It was Barça’s first league title since 2018/19 and Raphinha’s first major trophy with the club.

He also won the Spanish Super Cup, giving him two trophies during his debut season.

Stepping Up During Dembélé’s Absence

The first season also demonstrated Raphinha’s ability to respond when Barcelona needed him.

When Ousmane Dembélé suffered injury problems, Raphinha received greater responsibility on the right wing.

His creativity, crosses, set pieces, and willingness to attack defenders helped Barcelona maintain their momentum during the title race.

He was not yet considered the central star of the team, but he had already demonstrated his value.

2023/24: Another Productive Campaign

Raphinha continued producing in his second Barça season.

FC Barcelona’s current profile credits him with:

10 goals
11 assists

during 2023/24, while another official club retrospective records 13 assists depending on the statistical convention used.

The important point was clear: his direct attacking output remained strong despite injuries and competition for places.

However, the following season entirely changed the perception of Raphinha.

Hansi Flick Changes Everything

Hansi Flick became Barcelona's coach ahead of 2024/25.

Under the German, Raphinha moved from being an important winger to one of the leaders of the entire team.

His tactical role became more flexible.

Raphinha could begin on the left wing, drift centrally, attack space behind the defense, operate close to the striker, and contribute aggressively to Barcelona’s pressing.

The result was the greatest season of his career.

2024/25: Raphinha’s Breakout Season

Barcelona’s official first-team profile credits Raphinha with an extraordinary

34 goals
22 assists
57 appearances

during 2024/25.

Another Barça season retrospective recorded 25 assists across 56 matches, illustrating a small difference between the club’s public statistical datasets, but both show the same reality: Raphinha produced well over 50 direct goal contributions.

It was the campaign that transformed his reputation.

Domestic Treble

Barcelona won all three major Spanish trophies during 2024/25:

LaLiga

2024/25

Copa del Rey

2024/25

Spanish Super Cup

2024/25

Raphinha played a central role throughout the campaign.

The Copa del Rey was his first, while LaLiga and the Super Cup were his second titles in each competition.

Historic Champions League Season

Raphinha’s performances in the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League were exceptional.

UEFA records him with:

14 matches
13 goals
9 assists
22 total goal contributions.

He finished the competition as the joint-leading goalscorer alongside Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy.

But Raphinha also finished first for assists.

That meant he simultaneously ended the season as

  • Champions League joint-top scorer

  • Champions League top assist provider

Hat-Trick Against Bayern Munich

One of the defining performances of Raphinha’s season came against Bayern Munich.

He scored a Champions League hat-trick as Barcelona produced a statement victory over the German giants.

The performance showcased virtually every important element of his evolution under Flick: intelligent movement behind the defense, direct running, clinical finishing, and relentless intensity.

UEFA’s final season review noted that Raphinha scored eight goals during the league phase alone, including the Bayern hat-trick.

Champions League Knockout Impact

Raphinha remained decisive after the league phase.

He scored three times across Barcelona’s round-of-16 tie against Benfica.

He then scored against Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals.

And in the semi-final against Inter Milan, he scored what temporarily appeared capable of sending Barcelona through before Inter eventually won an extraordinary tie in extra time.

Barcelona did not reach the final, but individually Raphinha had produced one of the best European campaigns of his career.

2025 Ballon d’Or — Fifth Place

Raphinha’s performances earned recognition at the highest individual level.

He was nominated for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.

When the final voting was announced, he finished fifth in the world with 620 points.

The top five were:

  1. Ousmane Dembélé

  2. Lamine Yamal

  3. Vitinha

  4. Mohamed Salah

  5. Raphinha

For Raphinha, the ranking represented confirmation that his 2024/25 performances were viewed among the best in world football.

Becoming a Barcelona Captain

Raphinha’s transformation was not only statistical.

His standing inside the dressing room also changed.

Barcelona’s squad elected him among the club’s captains for the 2024/25 season alongside Marc-André ter Stegen, Ronald Araújo, Frenkie de Jong, and Pedri.

His inclusion reflected the respect he had earned from teammates.

Raphinha’s leadership style strongly reflects his intensity.

He presses, tracks back, demands effort from himself, and plays with visible emotion.

Under Flick, those characteristics became increasingly important.

Contract Renewal Until 2028

Barcelona moved to secure Raphinha’s future following his outstanding 2024/25 campaign.

On 22 May 2025, the club announced that he had renewed his contract until

30 June 2028.

The extension was significant because Raphinha had previously been linked with possible departures.

Instead, his performances had made him one of the foundations of Flick’s project.

After signing, Raphinha said his dream was to remain at Barça until the end of his career.

2025/26: Another Big Season Despite Injuries

Raphinha entered 2025/26 as one of Barcelona’s biggest attacking stars.

However, unlike the previous campaign, injuries interrupted his rhythm.

Barcelona’s historical competitive database records his final 2025/26 campaign as

33 official appearances
21 goals.

Even with significantly fewer appearances than the previous season, he maintained an excellent scoring rate.

He also remained decisive in major matches.

Spanish Super Cup Hero

Raphinha produced one of the standout performances of Barcelona’s 2025/26 season in the Spanish Super Cup.

In the semi-final against Athletic Club, he scored twice as Barça won 5-0.

Then came the final against Real Madrid.

Raphinha scored another two goals as Barcelona defeated their greatest rivals 3-2.

His second goal in the 73rd minute proved to be the winner.

He was officially named Man of the Match in the Spanish Super Cup final.

Barcelona lifted the trophy for the second consecutive season.

Huge Performance Against Newcastle

In March 2026, Raphinha produced another spectacular performance against Newcastle United.

He finished the match with:

2 goals
2 assists
1 penalty won

and received MVP recognition.

Barcelona described his attacking and defensive contribution as fundamental to Flick’s system.

At that point in the campaign, he had already reached 19 goals and seven assists in all competitions.

2025/26 LaLiga Team of the Season

Barcelona successfully retained the Spanish championship in 2025/26.

Raphinha’s performances were recognized with selection in the LaLiga Team of the Season.

He was one of six Barcelona players chosen alongside the following:

  • Joan García

  • Eric García

  • Pau Cubarsí

  • Pedri

  • Lamine Yamal

The selection confirmed that even in an injury-affected campaign, Raphinha remained one of LaLiga’s outstanding forwards.

Third LaLiga Championship

Barcelona’s 2025/26 title gave Raphinha his third LaLiga championship.

His league honors now read:

  • 2022/23

  • 2024/25

  • 2025/26

He also won his third Spanish Super Cup during the same campaign.

Injury Problems During 2025/26

Multiple muscular problems disrupted Raphinha’s season.

Right Adductor Strain — February 2026

On 2 February 2026, Barcelona confirmed a strain in the adductor muscle of Raphinha’s right thigh.

The club estimated approximately one week of recovery.

At the time he had already made 22 appearances and scored 13 goals during the season.

Right Hamstring Injury — March 2026

A more serious injury followed during international duty.

Raphinha experienced discomfort during Brazil’s friendly against France in Boston.

Tests conducted by the Brazilian Football Federation confirmed a right hamstring injury.

Barcelona announced an estimated recovery period of five weeks.

At the time, he had made 31 Barça appearances and scored 19 goals, making him the club’s second-highest scorer.

The injury had major consequences for the end of his club season and eventually affected his preparation for the World Cup.

Brazil National Team Debut

Raphinha made his senior Brazil debut on 7 October 2021 against Venezuela.

He immediately made an impact by contributing two assists.

His performances quickly established him as a regular option for the Seleção.

Only a year later, he was representing Brazil at the FIFA World Cup.

FIFA World Cup 2022

Raphinha was part of Brazil’s squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

He appeared in all five Brazil matches as the five-time world champions progressed to the quarter-finals.

Brazil was eventually eliminated by Croatia on penalties.

It was Raphinha’s first major World Cup experience.

Copa América 2024

Raphinha also represented Brazil at the 2024 Copa América.

He scored during the 1-1 group-stage draw against Colombia.

His performances earned him a place in the Team of the Tournament, according to Barcelona’s official player profile.

Brazil’s campaign ultimately ended before the final, but Raphinha’s individual contribution reinforced his importance to the national team.

2026 World Cup Qualification

Raphinha played a major role as Brazil secured qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

A 1-0 victory over Paraguay in June 2025 officially booked Brazil’s place in the tournament.

Raphinha became the first Barcelona player whose national team mathematically confirmed qualification for the 2026 finals.

Selected for the 2026 FIFA World Cup

Carlo Ancelotti selected Raphinha in Brazil’s final World Cup squad in May 2026.

It was his second FIFA World Cup.

Brazil entered Group C alongside Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland.

However, Raphinha’s recent muscular issues meant that managing his fitness became an important part of the tournament.

Brazil’s 2026 World Cup Campaign

Brazil opened the tournament with a 1-1 draw against Morocco, with Raphinha starting the match.

They then defeated Haiti 3-0.

Raphinha suffered another physical problem during the Haiti match and consequently missed Brazil’s final group fixture against Scotland.

Brazil still won 3-0 and qualified for the knockout rounds as group winners.

World Cup Ends Against Norway

Raphinha recovered in time for Brazil’s round-of-16 match against Norway.

Carlo Ancelotti confirmed him fit.

However, he was not used in the match.

Brazil lost 2-1 and was eliminated from the tournament.

FIFA later identified Raphinha among the Brazilian players who had suffered injury problems during the tournament.

The 2026 World Cup therefore ended in disappointment for both Brazil and the Barça winger.

Return to Barcelona

After the World Cup, Raphinha received time off before returning to Barcelona’s preseason preparations.

He rejoined Hansi Flick’s squad during the training camp in England in late July.

By August, he had recovered sufficiently to return to match action.

2026 Joan Gamper Trophy

Raphinha looked sharp again during Barcelona’s final major preseason presentation.

Barça defeated Al Ahly 2-1 in the 2026 Joan Gamper Trophy at Spotify Camp Nou.

Raphinha influenced both Barcelona goals.

He played the pass that started the move for Hamza Abdelkarim’s opener before winning and converting the penalty for Barcelona’s second goal.

He was voted the Star Player of the 2026 Gamper.

It was an encouraging sign ahead of the new season after a difficult few months physically.

Raphinha as First Captain in August 2026

Raphinha’s leadership role has become even more prominent ahead of 2026/27.

Before the Gamper, Hansi Flick confirmed that Barcelona would wait until the final squad was complete before holding the definitive captaincy vote.

In the meantime, Raphinha is serving as first captain, supported by Eric García and Pedri while Frenkie de Jong is injured.

Raphinha subsequently addressed the Spotify Camp Nou crowd as captain during the official squad presentation.

It represents another extraordinary stage in a career that only a few years earlier contained uncertainty about his long-term Barça future.

Playing Style

Raphinha is a technically gifted left-footed winger capable of operating on either side of the attack.

Barcelona originally signed him primarily as a right winger.

From that position, his natural movement is to cut inside onto his stronger left foot before shooting, crossing, or playing a final pass.

Under Hansi Flick, however, his role has become considerably more flexible.

Movement Without the Ball

One of Raphinha’s greatest improvements has come without possession.

He constantly looks for space behind opposition defenders.

Rather than always demanding the ball at his feet, he makes aggressive diagonal runs between full-backs and center-backs.

This allows Barcelona’s midfielders to find him with vertical passes.

It also explains why his goalscoring increased dramatically under Flick.

Pressing

Raphinha is one of Barcelona’s most aggressive forwards without the ball.

When possession is lost, he frequently becomes one of the first players to press.

Barcelona specifically highlighted his work rate and energy in the pressing game when discussing his importance in February 2026.

This makes him particularly suited to Hansi Flick’s football.

Dribbling

Raphinha remains dangerous in one-on-one situations.

He can receive wide, attack the opposing full-back, and use changes of direction to create crossing or shooting opportunities.

Barcelona identified his dribbling ability as one of his defining characteristics even before his presentation in 2022.

Shooting

Because Raphinha naturally favors his left foot, he is particularly dangerous when cutting inside from the right.

He can shoot from outside the penalty area, attack the far corner, or combine before entering central scoring positions.

His evolution under Flick has also resulted in more goals from off-ball runs rather than only long-range attempts.

Chance Creation

Raphinha is not simply a scorer.

His 2024/25 Champions League campaign is the clearest evidence.

He led the entire competition with nine assists while simultaneously scoring 13 goals.

His delivery from wide positions, cutbacks, through passes, and set pieces all contribute to his creative value.

Set Pieces

Raphinha is also a dangerous dead-ball specialist.

Barcelona highlighted the accuracy of his left foot from both free kicks and corners when he joined the club.

This gives Barcelona another source of opportunities against teams defending compactly.

Tactical Versatility

Raphinha can operate as

  • Left winger

  • Right winger

  • Narrow attacking midfielder

  • Second forward

  • Wide forward in a front three

  • Advanced attacker behind a striker

His freedom under Flick has allowed him to move between these spaces depending on the opponent.

Raphinha’s Main Strengths

Raphinha’s strongest qualities include:

  • Goalscoring

  • Chance creation

  • Intelligent off-ball movement

  • Aggressive pressing

  • Work rate

  • Left-footed shooting

  • Crossing

  • Set-piece delivery

  • One-on-one dribbling

  • Combination play

  • Final-third decision-making

  • Diagonal runs behind defenders

  • Counterattacking

  • Tactical flexibility

  • Big-game performances

  • Leadership

  • Competitive mentality

  • Defensive effort from attack

Why Raphinha Is So Important to Barcelona

Raphinha gives Barcelona far more than goals and assists.

He sets the intensity of the press.

He attacks space when midfielders have possession.

He creates chances from open play and set pieces.

He can operate on either side.

And his work rate allows Barcelona to defend aggressively from the front.

This explains why Flick’s Barcelona look different when Raphinha is available.

The club itself repeatedly describes his offensive and defensive contribution as important to the team’s structure.

Leadership

Raphinha’s rise to captaincy is one of the clearest demonstrations of how his Barcelona career has evolved.

He arrived in 2022 as a new signing fighting for a starting position.

By 2024, he had been elected among the captains.

By August 2026, Flick was using him as acting first captain while Barcelona waited to complete the squad and hold the definitive leadership vote.

His leadership is based less on seniority than intensity and example.

Raphinha expects himself to run, press, and compete for every ball.

That mentality has helped turn him into one of the dressing room’s leading figures.

The Raphinha and Lamine Yamal Dynamic

Barcelona possess two elite wide attackers with very different profiles.

Lamine Yamal is an extraordinary one-on-one creator who frequently wants possession at his feet on the right.

Raphinha is particularly dangerous through movement, vertical runs, pressing, and his ability to attack open spaces.

That difference can make them complementary.

When Yamal attracts defenders toward the right, space can emerge for Raphinha to attack from the opposite side or centrally.

Barcelona’s 2024/25 attacking explosion demonstrated how effective the combination could be.

Contract and Barcelona Future

Raphinha’s current contract runs until 30 June 2028.

He will turn 30 in December 2026, meaning the agreement covers a major part of the remaining prime years of his career.

His situation is very different from the transfer uncertainty that surrounded him earlier in his Barcelona spell.

Raphinha is now:

  • One of the team’s leaders

  • One of its most productive attackers

  • A captain

  • A three-time LaLiga champion

  • One of the world’s highest-ranked players from the 2025 Ballon d’Or

Barcelona have therefore moved from questioning his long-term position to making him one of the senior foundations of the squad.

Current Status for 2026/27

As of 22 August 2026, Raphinha is:

  • 29 years old

  • FC Barcelona’s No. 11

  • A key first-team forward

  • Under contract until 30 June 2028

  • Fully back in match action after his recent muscular problems

  • Acting as first captain pending the definitive captaincy vote

  • A three-time LaLiga champion

  • A Copa del Rey winner

  • A three-time Spanish Super Cup winner

  • The 2024/25 Champions League joint-top scorer

  • The 2024/25 Champions League assist leader

  • Fifth in the 2025 Ballon d’Or

  • A 2025/26 LaLiga Team of the Season member

  • A two-time FIFA World Cup participant

  • The 2026 Joan Gamper Star Player

His Gamper performance on 19 August showed that he enters the new campaign fit and decisive again after his difficult end to 2025/26.

What Comes Next for Raphinha?

Raphinha has already completed a remarkable transformation at Barcelona.

The question is no longer whether he belongs at the club.

The challenge now is maintaining the elite level he reached under Hansi Flick.

Barcelona’s major objective remains the UEFA Champions League.

Raphinha has personally finished a Champions League season as top scorer and assist leader, but he has not yet lifted the trophy.

Winning it as one of Barcelona’s leaders would represent another major step in his career.

There is also an individual challenge.

After finishing fifth in the 2025 Ballon d’Or, maintaining his goalscoring and creative numbers could keep him among football’s leading individual-award contenders.

Final Thoughts

Raphinha’s Barcelona story is one of transformation.

He arrived from Leeds United in 2022 as a talented Brazilian winger with Premier League experience.

His first season brought LaLiga.

His second demonstrated consistency.

Then Hansi Flick arrived, and Raphinha’s career exploded.

During 2024/25, he became one of world football’s most productive attackers, led the Champions League in both goals and assists, helped Barcelona complete a domestic treble, and eventually finished fifth in the Ballon d’Or.

The following season brought injuries, but it also produced another La Liga title, another Spanish Super Cup, a spectacular final performance against Real Madrid, and selection in La Liga's Team of the Season.

Now, in August 2026, Raphinha has returned from his World Cup injury problems and is entering another season as one of Barcelona’s most important figures.

He is no longer simply a winger.

He is a scorer, creator, presser, leader, and captain.

With a contract until 2028 and Barcelona again targeting the biggest trophies in Europe, Raphinha remains central to Hansi Flick’s plans.
