Barcelona suffered their first defeat of the 2026–27 campaign on Tuesday night, falling 4–2 to defending European champions Paris Saint-Germain in a pulsating UEFA Champions League encounter at the Parc des Princes.

Barcelona head into Tuesday's UEFA Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain buoyed by the return of Raphinha, but Hansi Flick will have to navigate a severe defensive crisis.

Lionel Messi’s name keeps appearing in the Barcelona record books, and this time it is two of his successors who have pushed their way into a very exclusive list. Raphinha and Lamine Yamal are enjoying a remarkable start to the LaLiga season, and their numbers are already comparable to some of the best in the […]

The Brazilian winger has returned to the squad ahead of Saturday’s meeting in Seville, but his absence from the starting lineup has a specific explanation that could prove crucial to Barcelona’s ambitions over the coming days.

The Brazilian forward’s absence comes at an inconvenient time for the Catalan side, which has made a perfect start to the season and will be looking to maintain its momentum in Europe.

Raphinha’s absence comes at a crucial moment for the Catalan club, which faces a demanding run of domestic and European matches that could shape its season.

Raphinha will miss Barcelona’s next two games against Getafe and Galatasaray, with Hansi Flick opting for a cautious approach due to the Brazilian’s injury history.

The Barcelona forward has been handed one of the most recognizable numbers in international soccer, a jersey that was once worn by Pele, Kaka and Ronaldinho, among a long line of Brazilian legends.

Raphinha's hat-trick against Sevilla included a header, a right-footed finish, and a left-footed strike, a perfect hat-trick that even Messi's LaLiga-record 36 trebles never included.

Raphinha's hat-trick against Sevilla pushed him to 11 goals in seven LaLiga games, matching Lionel Messi's mark and leaving only Cristiano Ronaldo's record within reach.

Raphinha and Lamine Yamal have combined for 16 goals through six matchdays, surpassing a Barcelona record held by Lionel Messi and Cesc Fabregas since 2011-12.

While including Raphinha and leaving Neymar and Casemiro out, head coach Carlo Ancelotti has dropped a total of 15 players from his 2026 World Cup squad for the upcoming international window.

With his latest goal for Barcelona against Valencia, Raphinha surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo and matched Lionel Messi in an iconic 21st-century La Liga benchmark.

While Barcelona remain hopeful of signing Julian Alvarez, team captain Raphinha has demonstrated he can step up as a central striker under Hansi Flick if the club fails to acquire a traditional No. 9.

With Karim Adeyemi's deal on the verge of being completed, president Joan Laporta shed some light on Raphinha's future at FC Barcelona.
