Leeds United fans have given their thoughts after former Whites winger Raphinha put in a sub-par performance in Brazil's second group stage match of the 2022 World Cup.
Despite being given the chance to start by manager Tite, the 25-year-old had a quiet match and was subbed off in the 78th minute, replaced by young Manchester United star Antony.
Raphinha has openly stated that he's struggled to adjust to La Liga after his move to Spanish giants Barcelona in the summer transfer window after finding just two goals in his opening 16 appearances but his return for his country has been more impressive.

Many fans flocked to social media to discuss his performances, with one of them saying: "We were very lucky to have someone like Raphinha with his quality at Leeds. Think Sinisterra and Gnonto could be the same and it's looking more and more likely that Tyler Adams is also of that type of pedigree."
Another agreed, by perhaps jokingly claiming: "Neymar was holding Raphinha back," while a third said: "I don't think Raphinha should be ahead of Rodrygo in Brazil's rotation."
