The Brazilian forward has quickly made an impact at La Liga heavyweights, taking down key rivals on American soil.
After transferring from Leeds to Barcelona in the middle of the year, Raphinha has been making waves in the community. On his most recent trip with the Blaugrana, the Brazilian forward scored a Clasico thunderclap against Real Madrid. The South American made sure that Xavi's team reached the big time with that spectacular goal during a preseason friendly match in Las Vegas.
His startling effort against the powerful La Liga winners ultimately resulted in a 1-0 victory, and Barca got ready for the 2022–23 mission in grand fashion with a victory over their greatest rivals.

Genuine somewhat botched their attempt to attack from the back against Barca, as a high press forced them into a hurried pass that dropped sweetly at Raphinha's feet.
Even though he was 20 yards from the goal, he only anticipated using one cushioned touch to position himself before drilling a stunning effort into the top corner while Thibaut Courtois was left trying to control the outside air.
Has Robert Lewandowski made his debut in Barcelona?
Although Raphinha's goal in the 27th minute proved to be the difference, Barca created a number of other opportunities with Courtois in goal.
With Robert Lewandowski becoming familiar with their overlap against the Blancos this summer, the Blaugrana will understand that they have the ability to annoy any opponent this season.
The Polish striker, who recently completed a transfer from Bayern Munich, was included right away as he drove the line for Xavi's side, wearing the No.12 shirt that was given to him.
Ousmane Dembele and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were two players who left their seats, and Barca's manager later said of his replacement choices: "You have already seen Raphinha show that he is fit for having an effect, absolutely unique, and he can play on the two wings.
"Robert is also a global superstar. A global celebrity who comes to help us and has quickly adjusted while maintaining a great deal of modesty.
The truth is that I am quite happy with these two things because they simultaneously create a lot of competition for those at the top and make us all need to work much harder.
