He expressed his gratitude to the club and its president, Joan Laporta, saying that he has always been a fan of Barcelona and has always wanted to play for the team. Raphinha feels honored to have been trusted by the club for a second time and is eager to continue contributing to the team's success.
Last season was a remarkable one for Raphinha, who scored 34 goals and provided 25 assists. He was surprised by his own performance, as his personal goals were below these numbers. However, he is thrilled to have made such a significant impact on the team and is proud to have helped them win several titles.
Raphinha also spoke about the confidence he received from coach Hansi Flick, which he said changed his mindset and motivated him to perform even better. He is looking forward to continuing to work with the team and contributing to their success in the future.
