Ahead of the 2026 World Cup, the focus of Brazil’s fans is on Neymar and his physical condition. However, head coach Carlo Ancelotti decided to put the focus on Raphinha, calling him “the best in the world” at attacking deep.

Amid the rumors surrounding his injury, Neymar Jr. has been reaffirmed by Carlo Ancelotti for the 2026 World Cup. However, Brazil’s head coach has made it clear that the veteran star will have to compete with Vinícius Júnior and Raphinha for a place in the starting lineup.

Anthony Gordon was presented at Barcelona as the winger chose Raphinha as his comparison.

Marcus Rashford seemed destined to join FC Barcelona, but Manchester United’s inflexibility could push the move away. Following this, the Blaugranas reportedly reache a $82 million agreement with Newcastle United for Anthony Gordon.

Raphinha and Frenkie de Jong have been excluded from the starting lineup for Barcelona's game against Real Madrid.

With Hansi Flick’s arrival at Barcelona, Raphinha has become one of the best players in the world. Following his strong performances, the Blaugrana are reportedly set to receive a €90M offer from the Saudi Pro League, but the Brazilian refuses to be transferred, creating serious uncertainty.

Real Madrid and Barcelona will face off next week, and Raphinha is at risk of missing that match.

After Barcelona’s elimination against Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, Raphinha aimed strong criticism at the referee — and it could prove costly.

Following their elimination, Barcelona star Raphinha blasted the officiating, calling their Champions League quarterfinal exit at the hands of Atletico Madrid a "robbery."

Set to face Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, Raphinha will be a major absence for FC Barcelona.

Hansi Flick chose to not blame anyone for Raphinha's injury, unlike Barcelona president Joan Laporta, who complained about FIFA's calendar.

Raphinha suffered an injury while playing for Brazil, prompting a response from Barcelona president Joan Laporta directed at FIFA.

The club has learned that FIFA will compensate them for the winger’s absence, but early indications suggest that the figure is not only modest; it is also deeply perplexing to those within the Catalan institution.

The spotlight on Brazil has intensified dramatically in recent days, with Vinicius Junior and Raphinha unexpectedly finding themselves at the center of growing uncertainty.

FC Barcelona have confirmed that Raphinha suffered a hamstring injury in the game against France, a news that could end up jeopardizing his dream of performing in the 2026 World Cup with Brazil.
