Raphael Días scored twice as Barcelona beat PSG 3-1 in the Champions League quarter-final. The Brazilian was named the MVP of the match at the Parc des Princes.

The 27-year-old has scored eight goals and made 10 assists this season. Raphinha has no dribbling skills, nor even less the “jogo bonito” mentality of Brazil’s forwards. He never hesitated as a player when he had to choose between Barça and Leeds. The club still has about 30 million to amortize for a player, from Leeds, who in 2022 cost 48 million fixed plus 12 variables and whose contract ends in 2027. “If I can do half of what they did at Barça, it would be a lot,” he said of Ronaldinho, Neymar and Deco, who he considers his idols. “Sometimes he goes too fast because of his desire,’ Xavi certifies.
