    Raphinha reminded me of Modrić when he first arrive at Real Madrid. I remember the Madrid fans base and media voted him the worst midfielder they had in decades. Sometime around his 3rd season he went beast mode and never look back since.

    I’ll be honest I was one of those raphina haters. I didn’t like him being on the RW because I preferred Yamal there. He started convincing me once Xavi moved him to the left and he had that spectacular game against PSG. Coming into the summer I didn’t care if Nico signed or not, now I’m really glad he didn’t. Raphina is in the form of his life and I’m happy for him. Giving everything for the club and deserving of all the praise he’s getting

    • @NoCluYT

      Raphinha was doing the same stuff in his first season when Xavi had him on the left and in the middle with Dembele on the right. They'd often switch sides too. Sadly people only recognize a Brazlian's talent when he does skill moves and samba dancing.

    I always believed in Raphinha when he first came to the club but I thought he just needed better coaching. He was eager on the ball and made careless mistakes but as a Barca fan, seeing how much he cared about the team and how much he loved it was what really sold me. He's got the spirit of a La Masia kid and gives his all for the badge. I was so relieved when he stayed and I'm so happy to see him thriving.

From my I always said to him him that even though he wasn't the best dribbler or the best at decision making, he was one of the players that really gave all for the shirt and always value that, Raphinha always seem to go above and beyond to help defending and pressing and I'm so glad he has having this season right now.

    Ive also always been al left footed left winger who is mostly just fast, with good dinishing and positioning but just less quality to take people on. There were no players like what i was looking for to learn from, but honestly when i see raphinha play i just see myself making that same exact run, so now i can analyse the other aspects of his game like which other choices he makes. He is doing really good!

His IQ, ability, and leadership on the pitch is fun to see. I've loved Barça most of my adult life, as I had no way of watching the games as a kid...and this is an exciting time to watch the club. Flick has done a great job unleashing this guy to become a true club legend...I wish him all the very best on his journey this year, at this rate, he should win the Balon d'Or...provided Brazil doesn't collapse in the qualifiers

I've seen Raphinha at Bielsa s Leeds, and had high hopes but was disappointed with his start at Barca. That PSG game is what changed my mind about Raphinha for me, and got me excited about him again.
