Raphinha - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Creates three chances in debut Raphinha had two shots (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate), three chances created and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Morocco.

Impact Raphinha led Brazil in chances created and crosses during their frustrating opener draw. The Barcelona forward was also one of five players co-leading the five-time world champions with two shots. His overall performance in the field was not what the fans were expecting, though, after logging 31 goals and 17 assists in the season between La Liga and Champions League.

Set for key role with Brazil Raphinha is expected to be one of the most important players in Brazil's attack ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Impact Raphinha was unable to match the impressive numbers he posted in 2024/25, when he had 31 goals and 17 assists between LaLiga and the Champions League, but he still managed 16 goals and five assists in 2025/26 across both competitions. Raphinha figures to be a key player for Brazil alongside Vinicius Junior, but it remains to be seen where he'll line up. If Neymar is available, Raphinha could start on the right wing, but he could also be deployed as a No. 10 in favor of starting someone like Gabriel Martinelli or Rayan on that flank. Regardless of the position, look for Raphinha to be a key player for Brazil in the upcoming tournament.

Misses finale due to rest Raphinha (undisclosed) was out for the season finale due to caution after a season of taxing injuries, according to Xavier Munoz of Mundo Deportivo.

Impact Raphinha was already thought to have missed the season finale due to rest as he prepares for the World Cup, and that claim is true, not being risked after a few injuries throughout the club season. This is a good sign for the player and Brazil, as he will be a key piece of the team if they want to find success in the tournament. He is lined up to start immediately, with that claim further backed up after any injury concerns were waved off, recording 16 goals and five assists in 29 appearances (24 starts) this season between UCL play and La Liga play. If this play continues, he could be in for a solid tournament, even a decent shout for a Golden boot depending on how far his team makes it.

Not in squad for finale Raphinha has been left out of Barcelona's squad for Saturday's season finale against Valencia.

Impact Raphinha's surprising omission came with no further detail, but rest ahead of Brazil's World Cup duties in a non-important league game is the most plausible reason. It marks the end of an injury-hit season that forced him to sit out 15 league matches and six Champions League games, including both legs of the quarter-finals against Atletico Madrid. Nevertheless, he remained effective when fit, registering 13 goals and three assists in 18 league starts alongside three goals and two assists in six UCL outings. Roony Bardghji is expected to return to the starting lineup and feature on the right, as Raphinha now looks ahead to Brazil's World Cup campaign.

Nets brace Raphinha scored two goals to go with five shots (four on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 3-1 victory against Betis.

Impact Raphinha was excellent during Sunday's win, he took five shots and scored two of them while causing a plethora of issues for the Betis backline throughout. The winger was a threat constantly and kept causing issues for the defense. Raphinha is an elite attacking option any time he starts, and has brilliant upside as a finisher and creator.

Back from ban Raphinha has served his one-game La Liga suspension and is consequently eligible for upcoming games.

Impact Raphinha just recently returned from a five-week absence due to the hamstring injury he sustained in March, logging 26 minutes on the field against Real Madrid on May 10. After the extra rest he got with the suspension, the star winger could aim to regain a starting role for the final couple of matches before the World Cup, although he'll just try to build some form given that his team has already secured the league title and has little else to play for. At least one among Roony Bardghji and Marcus Rashford will likely drop to a substitute spot to make way for Raphinha in future contests.

Picks up suspension Raphinha will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in La Liga.

Impact Raphinha picked up his fifth yellow card in La Liga and will be sidelined for Wednesday's matchup against Alaves due to suspension. The playmaker has logged just 26 minutes off the bench against Real Madrid since returning from his long term hamstring injury, so his absence should have minimal impact with the Blaugranas already crowned Champions. Fermin or Marcus Rashford are in line to get the start on the left wing for that clash.
