The Brazilian will likely be the first name on coach HansiFlick’s team sheet for the tricky trip to face Real Betis today as Barca bid to, at least temporarily, move four points clear of Real Madrid.
Raphinha struck against Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou on Tuesday night, as Flick’s side secured a crucial victory against a title rival, and created two goals in the win over Alaves last weekend, on his first start since a hamstring injury in September.
