Depends.
If Raphinha doesn't perform this season, then it's just a purple patch/one off season. If he's still on the same level then he's World Class.
For now, you can call him World Class because of last season which was phenomenal.
Mac Allister isn't world class. Never was. He was very good last season and is dogshit this season. Gravenberch is better than him. This forum will always hype up Messi's mates. Look at Enzo who's a huge flop at Chelsea (although he's been better lately) but nobody here criticizes him.
Who's the Dutch dude?
Salah was world class for years throughout his prime. It's not even a debate.
Wirtz had 2 world class seasons at Leverkusen, winning the best player in his league and leading them to a historic invincible season as the undisputed main man. If he flops at Liverpool, he won't be World Class. But based on his Leverkusen career, he's World Class.
You need atleast 2 seasons to be sure but you can definitely call Raphinha World Class now until he proves otherwise. Nobody here has defended Raphinha more than me. Even under Xavi.
Look up wirtz Data and tell me how he's world class based on two "WC" seasons and raphinha isn't because he had 1
Mind you I saw both of them play.
Your logic isn't adding up.
