Raphinha Thanks Flick for Transforming His Career and Bringing Him to Barcelona
Barcelona winger Raphinha has expressed deep gratitude toward manager Hansi Flick, crediting him for changing the course of his career. Ahead of Sunday’s El Clasico against Real Madrid, Raphinha shared how Flick’s influence made all the difference. The Brazilian revealed that, without Flick’s intervention, he might not have been at Barcelona today.
“I’ll always be thankful to Hansi Flick. He completely transformed my career,” Raphinha said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano. “He wanted to see me in training before deciding my future, and he included me in his plans. Without him, I might be at another club right now, not Barcelona.”
Raphinha has been in outstanding form this season, scoring 32 goals and assisting 25 in 51 appearances for the Catalan side. He has already secured the Copa del Rey and Supercopa de España titles with Barcelona, and his performances have earned him a place as the joint-top scorer in the UEFA Champions League, tied with Borussia Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy, both with 13 goals.
Brazilian football legend Rivaldo has even backed Raphinha to claim the 2025 Ballon d’Or, a testament to his remarkable rise.
Kylian Mbappé has named former Spanish international Sergio Ramos as his ideal captain, calling him a natural-born leader. In an interview with Canal Plus, the French forward praised Ramos for his commanding presence and influence both on and off the pitch.
“My dream captain? Sergio Ramos,” Mbappé said. “He was born to lead. Whether it’s in the dressing room or on the field, his presence speaks for itself. Even without the armband, it feels like the armband chooses him.”
Mbappé and Ramos shared two seasons together at Paris Saint-Germain, appearing in 51 matches as teammates. The connection between the two clearly left a mark on the 25-year-old striker. Ramos eventually returned to La Liga with Sevilla after leaving PSG. As for Mbappé, he made headlines by joining Real Madrid in 2024 after choosing not to renew his contract with PSG, leaving on a free transfer.
Former Cameroonian player, Geremi Njitap claims that Inter Miami has no chance of winning the FIFA World Cup this season.
The former player shared that despite Lionel Messi being on the team, there is no chance of winning the FIFA cup, he also added that Messi has passed his prime.
“Lionel Messi is no longer young, he is going to come up against great clubs who have great players in the peak of their careers. Does he have a chance of winning it? I don’t think so.”
Ex Chelsea Striker, Tore Andre Flo praises the club for their recent decision on signing in AC Milan goalkeeper, Mike Maignan.
The former striker explained the decision as a smart move on Chelsea’s part and highlighted how strong the team’s defense will become.
“It sounds like a good signing to me. A club like Chelsea would improve the squad straight away if there was any doubt [over Robert Sanchez]. To me it sounds very, very smart.”
