    11 - Raphinha

    A rareity for Yamal and Fermin also but it gets made out there is a bigger reliance on Raphinha when it suits. Most Barca attackers under Flick been very productive.

    11 - Raphinha

    It is about Espanyol match if the claim is Barca cant win without him... other players who failed today as Raphinha has failed in many also stepped up. Barca outplayed Sociedad and finishing from box to box of the smallest margin and offside decisions of smallest margin prevented being more...

    11 - Raphinha

    In some of them.. he also didnt feel valued by Xavi and wanted to leave. He is a different player under Flick and that is what is being discussed. Specifically this season when in team and not. Its too easy to make out how missed he was when the very last game he played was poor away to...

    11 - Raphinha

    Probably but you also have to take into account he started v Oviedo/Espanyol etc and Barca were drawing before he went off. We counting those as wins with Raphinha? Or games like Valencia at home when winning before came on at HT? Also have to take into account he has missed a lot of the...

    11 - Raphinha

    As would be the same for just about any of the attacking players. Has to be the case or shouldnt be there. Same players scored 12 goals in last 3 games Raphinha didnt start in league in relatively tougher fixtures away to Betis, Celta and Ath Bilbao. Barca were excellent tonight from box to...

    11 - Raphinha

    Also talking inches in offside goals that were finished and penalties being one. It was a bizarre one off game. Could argue Barca dont create as many if Raphinha plays also. It is too much to make out can barely win without him. It isnt the case.

    11 - Raphinha

    Created chances and scored twice AFTER he went off.. improved that game after he went off. Raphinha has scored from open play in league in 2 of his last 8 games and the same players that missed chances tonight have like Raphinha good stats overall.

    11 - Raphinha

    They were not 'top defensively' after Raphinha off and Barca scored twice.

    11 - Raphinha

    Raphinha also went off in last game in league at 0-0 v Espanyol where barely looked like scoring. Took others to come on and score to win that game. All players Raphinha included have these games. Its too simplistic to make out he plays tonight and doesnt happen.

    23 - Jules Kounde

    Still the same. Poor 1v1 defender and has too many brain fart moments. Poor on both goals.. not the only one but poor on both.

    11 - Raphinha

    As import as Raphinha is Barca have prior to tonight won 10 of last 11 league games and Raphinha contributed 3 goals and 1 assist from open play in that time. Even the last game v Espanyol he was poor and went off at 0-0 before the subs came on to win it for Barca. Its an easy narrative to say...

    Premier League 25/26

    How on earth did Zubimendi stay on 90 mins there? Was absolutely treading water and offering nothing.

    Sport reporting Schlot not interested much in Barca move and wants Real.

    24 - Eric García

    Great stuff. Top attitude and exactly type of player the Barca younglings need at round them for variety of reasons. Shows what club means.. shows what perseverance can do. Well done Eric. Well deserved.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Doesn't work like that for Lewa/Christ. Those players leaving doesn't free doesn't count on 'freed up' space for next season as they don't have contracts then. Only if Barca as a result we're within salary limit and then leaving freed up space compared to this season. When club/league are...

    18 - Gerard Maldini

    Dortmund will ask for him as part of Schlot deal at this rate. Maybe Guille also.

    11 - Raphinha

    Around the time of his renewal it was reported they agreed to an 80m clause for him. No idea if that is accurate but was definitely reported.

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Gavi has a couple decent Supercup games v Real where he played well almost as a second striker running off Lewa. Gavi in 23/24 that Jamrock holds up as top performance was beyond poor at progressing ball and was nowhere near best player in game.. It was another of those games that all Gavi has...

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Frenkie is far far better tatically than likes of Casado and Gavi. More athletic. Quicker. Stronger. Folk moan about Frenkie 'doesnt pass ball forward' then have Casado and Gavi as those they praise... couldnt make it up. They then go back 2 years and gush over Gavi in games he played in...

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    Cant see him being signed. Raphinha is clear at LW and should stay there as much as possible. Dont think it should be changed at weekend either. Would rather Raph at LW and keep that left hand side that is working a lot better to take pressure off the opposition setting traps to man mark...
