Barcelona began the 2025–26 La Liga season with a win, and Raphinha matched a Ronaldinho milestone that not even Neymar managed to reach. This Saturday, Barcelona kicked off the 2025–26 La Liga season with a dominant 3–0 win over Mallorca.

As Morey received the ball close to the touchline, Raphinha lunged into a wild tackle on him that left the Mallorca defender writhing around on the floor in agony. The Barcelona forward was shown a yellow card for the challenge and it's left fans outraged on social media, with some claiming the tackle was a potential 'career-ender'.

Raphinha has welcomed the increased competition for places in Barcelona's attacking positions following the arrival of Marcus Rashford.
