Raphael Dias Belloli, known as Raphinha, is a highly-regarded Brazilian professional footballer celebrated for his pace, dribbling, and finishing as a winger or forward for Barcelona and the Brazil national team. Despite a difficult upbringing in a Porto Alegre favela and starting his career in "várzea" tournaments, he quickly rose through Portuguese clubs Vitória de Guimarães and Sporting CP, where he notably won a domestic double in 2019. After spells with Rennes and Leeds United, Raphinha made a significant move to La Liga giants Barcelona in 2022 for €58 million.
The 2024–25 season marked his phenomenal breakthrough at Barcelona, where he was integral to their domestic treble victory, securing the La Liga title, Copa del Rey, and Supercopa de España, while also finishing as the Champions League's top scorer. On the international stage, Raphinha made his senior debut for Brazil in 2021 and has since represented his country at the 2022 FIFA World Cup and the 2024 Copa América.
