Raphael Dias Belloli (born 14 December 1996), known as Raphinha, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a winger for La Liga club Barcelona and the Brazil national team.[4]
Raphinha began his footballing journey with Avaí, but left for Portuguese side Vitória Guimarães in 2016, where he made his professional début. After impressive performances, he signed for Sporting CP, where he spent a year before signing for French club Rennes. After a year he was on the move again, signing for Leeds United before moving to Spanish club Barcelona in a deal reportedly worth £50 million. Raphinha's impact to Barca did not rise instantly. As new times came, he found his part in the camp Nou.
Having made his debut in October 2021, Raphinha is a Brazilian international. His first two goals for the national team came in a win over Uruguay later that month. He was selected for Brazil's squad at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He most recently scored a brace against Luis Enrique's Paris Saint-Germain in a 3–2 win with Barcelona coming out on top in the Champions league first leg.
