Barcelona winger Raphinha has delivered a heartfelt message to supporters. This comes following the injury setback that has threatened his World Cup campaign with Brazil.
Refusing to let the situation break his spirit, Raphinha shared a nostalgic image from his early days with the national team, reaffirming his dedication to the cause.
The former Leeds United forward added that his focus remains entirely on his recovery and his commitments with the national side.
His words, “I chose this photo first because it reminds me of where it all began. The boy who dreamed of wearing the Brazilian national team jersey is still here. With the same dreams, the same gratitude, and the same desire to represent our country.
I love football, I love what I do, and I love wearing the Brazilian national team jersey. Those who know me know how much I demand of myself and how hard I work every day to improve. And that will never change. I will do everything in my power to recover and return as quickly as possible.
I want to be alongside my teammates, fight for our goals, and continue giving my all to honor this jersey and bring joy to Brazilian fans. I remain strong.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.
The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.
In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
