Creates three chances in debut
Raphinha had two shots (one on goal), four crosses (two accurate), three chances created and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Morocco.
Analysis: Raphinha led Brazil in chances created and crosses during their frustrating opener draw. The Barcelona forward was also one of five players co-leading the five-time world champions with two shots. His overall performance in the field was not what the fans were expecting, though, after logging 31 goals and 17 assists in the season between La Liga and Champions League.
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.
