Raphinha

Being the consistent Barcelona performer he has been, the Brazilian stood ecstatic with his performance against Athletic. Even though the conventional right winger was once again utilized in the attacking midfield position, Raphinha delivered exactly what the Barcelona fans expect from one of the club captains.

While his no-goal contributions on the scoreline might seem intriguing, the Brazilian was the most effective player for the Barcelona attack force. Taking part in counters and making critical spaces, Raphinha, along with Balde, traumatized Athletic's backline on various occasions. The player's performance might be considered a 10/10, with him being the closest competitor to Yamal for the MOTM.
