Set for key role with Brazil
Raphinha is expected to be one of the most important players in Brazil's attack ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Analysis: Raphinha was unable to match the impressive numbers he posted in 2024/25, when he had 31 goals and 17 assists between LaLiga and the Champions League, but he still managed 16 goals and five assists in 2025/26 across both competitions. Raphinha figures to be a key player for Brazil alongside Vinicius Junior, but it remains to be seen where he'll line up. If Neymar is available, Raphinha could start on the right wing, but he could also be deployed as a No. 10 in favor of starting someone like Gabriel Martinelli or Rayan on that flank. Regardless of the position, look for Raphinha to be a key player for Brazil in the upcoming tournament.
Misses finale due to rest
Raphinha (undisclosed) was out for the season finale due to caution after a season of taxing injuries, according to Xavier Munoz of Mundo Deportivo.
Analysis: Raphinha was already thought to have missed the season finale due to rest as he prepares for the World Cup, and that claim is true, not being risked after a few injuries throughout the club season. This is a good sign for the player and Brazil, as he will be a key piece of the team if they want to find success in the tournament. He is lined up to start immediately, with that claim further backed up after any injury concerns were waved off, recording 16 goals and five assists in 29 appearances (24 starts) this season between UCL play and La Liga play. If this play continues, he could be in for a solid tournament, even a decent shout for a Golden boot depending on how far his team makes it.
