Barcelona's celebration tour as repeat La Liga champion continues today when they host in-form, Champions League-bound Real Betis at Spotify Camp Nou.
And, just like he has for much of the 2025-26 campaign, Brazilian star Raphinha has delivered the goods for Blaugrana.
Deadlocked at nil-nil after the opening half-hour of action in Catalunya, the Barça star dispatched a free-kick beyond Álvaro Vallés to break the deadlock in the 28th minute.
That strike, his 12th La Liga goal of the campaign, pushes Raphinha to 15 direct goal contributions in just 22 appearances for the Spanish giants.
It's the type of return that has become synonymous with the former Leeds United fan favourite since he arrived on Spanish shores, who has reached new heights across the last two seasons as a key figure in Barça's dominant stint under Hansi Flick.
With Carlo Ancelotti slated to announce Brazil's World Cup squad tomorrow, another friendly reminder from the Porto Alegre-born attacker that he's ready to lead Seleção this summer never hurt anyone.
