Barcelona began the 2025–26 La Liga season with a win, and Raphinha matched a Ronaldinho milestone that not even Neymar managed to reach. This Saturday, Barcelona kicked off the 2025–26 La Liga season with a dominant 3–0 win over Mallorca.

As Morey received the ball close to the touchline, Raphinha lunged into a wild tackle on him that left the Mallorca defender writhing around on the floor in agony. The Barcelona forward was shown a yellow card for the challenge and it's left fans outraged on social media, with some claiming the tackle was a potential 'career-ender'.

Atletico Madrid debuted six of its new signings but couldn’t avoid relinquishing a late lead and losing its opening Spanish league match for the first time under coach Diego Simeone.

Barcelona didn't need to work especially hard for all three points to begin the defence of their La Liga title, after two Mallorca players were sent off in the first half.

Raphinha has welcomed the increased competition for places in Barcelona's attacking positions following the arrival of Marcus Rashford.

Barcelona cruised to a 3-0 win at nine-man Mallorca in their opening LaLiga game of the season on Saturday as England forward Marcus Rashford made his debut off the bench.

Raphinha’s contract currently runs until the summer of 2024, and the club are in negotiations with him about an improved deal, which they are hopeful of reaching an agreement on.

Raphinha gets Barcelona off to a hot start in their season opener by heading home from Lamine Yamal's delicious cross against Mallorca.
