Former Leeds United winger Raphinha has opened up about his tough upbringing and growing up with friends in the world of crime - some of which were involved in drug trafficking.
The 25-year-old made the big-money switch to Barcelona in the summer - a move Raphinha describes as being a dream considering the start to his life. He joined the Whites from Rennes in 2020 and quickly established himself as a consistent Premier League performer, scoring six times and grabbed 10 assists in his first season at the club.
However, after netting 11 goals last season, Barcelona captured his services in the summer for a fee in the region of £55million which was Leeds' record sale. Raphinha has struggled for form since his move to the Camp Nou, scoring once and notching just one assist in seven appearances. He did make his Champions League debut on Tuesday, though, with Barca losing 2-0 at Bayern Munich.
