Raphinha has been excluded from Barcelona's squad list for the La Liga game against Real Sociedad.

Barcelona’s season continues to swing between relief and despair as the Blaugrana has received news that both delighted and worried their fans in equal measure.

Raphinha ended in 5th place in the 2025 Ballon d'Or, and Neymar didn't doubt to react with a sharp message: "It's a joke."

Serhou Guirassy ended up being crowned with the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League Golden Boot, prompting questions on why FC Barcelona star Raphinha was snubbed from the award.

Hosting the game against Valencia for La Liga, FC Barcelona fans were left in shock when none of the team stars like Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, and Raphinha were included in the starting lineup.

After drawing attention during the international break, Raphinha has been left out of Brazil’s starting lineup against Bolivia in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers.

Brazil faces Chile at the Maracanã Stadium on Thursday at 8:30 PM ET in South American qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Brazil will play their final two World Cup qualifying matches without Real Madrid’s Vinicius and Rodrygo, but Barcelona’s Raphinha has made the squad.

Barcelona began the 2025–26 La Liga season with a win, and Raphinha matched a Ronaldinho milestone that not even Neymar managed to reach.

Even Lamine Yamal’s teammate Robert Lewandowski seems to believe something special is brewing, though he refuses to give away the full plot in the opening act.

In a transfer window full of twists and marquee moves, Marcus Rashford's switch from Manchester United to Barcelona has stirred significant buzz—and equally, a fair share of questions.

Could fans in USA see Blaugrana stars Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Marcus Rashford, and Lamine Yamal in person?

The forward called the transfer a “dream move”—but almost immediately, his dream was met with a dose of cold reality.

What seemed like a summer setback is now suddenly back on track — but not without unresolved questions.

With the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup now concluded, the race for the Ballon d’Or 2025 has entered its most intriguing and unpredictable phase.
