Brazil play Argentina on Thursday the 26th. No chance Raphinha misses that. Guess we'll have to to without him for Osasuna if it stands on Friday the 27th
Surely LaLiga would also schedule a date for Real if Vinicius/Rodrygo/Endrick etc were not available in the crunch time phase of the league.

It doesn't matter who wears the armband, he is our true captain. Without a doubt.

He was doing pretty good under Xavi, but I always felt that we wasn't able to unlock his potential. Flick knew exactly how to use him and Raphinha delivered BIG TIME. He became such a consistent and most importantly decisive player for us, I couldn't even imagine that in his first 2 seasons here (although as I said earlier I think he was doing pretty good even in these days). Pair this with an absolute exemplary mentality and professionalism and you get a serious Ballon d'Or contender and a possible future club legend. Both depends mostly on our ability to claim some major silverware this season and in the future.

If he gets a yellow vs Colombia he would miss the game vs Argentina and be able to play the Liga game, don't think he would ever do it on purpose, but let's see if any colombian player can trick him... :busquets:

Hard to believe he would want to miss playing Argentina just for Osasuna. Plus, Brazil needs points.
But who knows.

The more i think about it, the more i like the idea of him as a 9, if we can't sign someone that's worth it.

His movement is next level

He presses.

Very good finished

Great pace & Enough skill to desperate himself for 99% of CBs.

Plus he finishes with left foot, so he's finishing to the weak side of most keepers in a one v one situation.

We would just lose his hard work on the wings, so we would need someone who is a willing runner to replace him.
