Raphinha Thrives as Barcelona's makeshift striker

Published August 30, 2026 · Updated August 30, 2026 · Mundo Deportivo

Hansi Flick has converted Raphinha into a forward center for Barcelona, and the Brazilian has responded with three goals in the opening two LaLiga games.

With the absence of a new striker to replace Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres (who scored 40 goals together last season), Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has repositioned Raphinha as a makeshift forward center. The converted winger has already justified this tactical decision by scoring three goals in the first two rounds of LaLiga 2026-27. grenadier.co.za
