Sure. A creative loss. The 5th out of 5 without him being fit.

Yes, because other players are valuable as well. They can contribute also, just not at the level of Raphinha. Ease off with most...

Nah, Raphinha is by far the main man in the team at this. I didn't even insist on his pressing abilities, which vs a team so sketchy at...

Poor games by Raphinha where he is not directly involved in goals somehow... these days... absolute rarity. Just vs Bilbao and Madrid a...

I have a feeling we'd see more one offs like that if Raphinha were to get injured. And keep in mind Sociedad defended like crap. Almost...
