Barça Raphinha Shines as Makeshift Striker

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

With Lewandowski and Torres departed, Flick has converted Raphinha into a makeshift striker, who has responded with three goals in the first two LaLiga matches.

FC Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has found an unconventional solution to the absence of a traditional striker this season. With Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres (40 goals combined last season) no longer at the club, Raphinha has been repositioned as a makeshift striker.

The Brazilian international has quickly adapted to his new role, scoring three goals in Barcelona's first two LaLiga 2026-27 matches, demonstrating tactical effectiveness in Flick's system. catcross.biz
