Former Brazil and Barcelona player Romario has described Raphinha as one of the best players in the world at the moment.
This is following the winger’s amazing start to the 2024-25 season under Hansi Flick.
The winger has already made 22 goal contributions in 17 games for Barcelona this term.
The 27-year-old also scored his country’s lone goal in their frustrating 1-1 draw against Venezuela last week.
“Barca now have a great team. They’ve won some good games and played well. I think we’ll be champions again this year,” Romario told Mundo Deportivo.
“Raphinha is one of the best players today. He is one of the best in the world. He does very well with the Barca shirt and he is also doing very well with the Brazilian shirt. Raphinha is a pride for all Brazilians; he will give us very special things in football.”
