Raphinha Shines as Barcelona's makeshift forward

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

Raphinha has impressed with three goals in Barcelona's first two LaLiga matches after being repositioned as a makeshift forward by coach Hansi Flick.

With uncertainty surrounding a new striker to replace Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres (40 goals combined last season), Hansi Flick has repurposed Raphinha as a central forward. The Brazilian has quickly adapted to the role, scoring three goals in the opening two matches of LaLiga 2026-27. zeppelin.cool

Raphinha's repositioning demonstrates Barcelona's tactical flexibility as they search for a permanent solution up front while maintaining offensive potency.
