Biography

Raphael Dias Belloli (Portuguese pronunciation: [ʁɐˈfiɲɐ]; born 14 December 1996), known mononymously as Raphinha, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for La Liga club Barcelona, which he captains, and the Brazil national team. Considered one of the best players in the world, he is known for his pace, work rate, playmaking ability, and finishing.

Raphinha began his career with Brazilian club Avaí, before signing for the Portuguese Vitória de Guimarães in 2016, where he made his professional debut. In 2018, he joined fellow Primeira Liga club Sporting CP, winning the double of the Taça de Portugal and Taça da Liga in 2019.

After having played for Rennes and Leeds United, Raphinha signed for Spanish club Barcelona in 2022 for a transfer worth €58 million (£50 million). Despite initially struggling, in 2024–25, Raphinha had his breakthrough season, being integral to Barcelona winning a domestic treble of the La Liga title, the Copa del Rey, and the Supercopa de España, while also finishing as the Champions League's top scorer.

After never being capped at youth level, Raphinha made his senior international debut for Brazil in 2021, and was part of their squads for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, 2024 Copa América and 2026 World Cup.
