Former Leeds United star Raphinha continued his impressive trajectory with a brace for Brazil in their final game ahead of the winter World Cup in Qatar. The former Whites winger made a long-awaited move to Barcelona in the recent summer transfer window, hoping to follow in the footsteps of Brazilian icons, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo.
The 25-year-old has gone from strength to strength in recent seasons and is showing no sign of reaching his ceiling ahead of an important World Cup on the horizon. Whites' supporters have kept a close eye on the developments of Raphinha since leaving Elland Road.
His ascent to international level and the ease with which he's adapted has only made his departure more hard felt amongst the Leeds fanbase.

Here's what Leeds United supporters have had to say on Raphinha's performance:
@AlexChaffer tweeted: "In a few years, or months, we’re all really gonna sit here and wonder whether Raphinha really actually played for Leeds."
@JJeffers said: "Love seeing Raphinha do well. Doesn’t hurt at all."
@TheSquareBall responded: "Great isn’t it? He’s having a lovely time. GREAT FUN."
@Keville17 said: "I’m tempted to go large on Golden Boot or player of tournament. Would be classic Leeds, dead proud for a minute then ranting at board for not getting more £££."
@lufcraphinha tweeted: "I don’t know I still miss him so much, don't really care about Kalvin and the rest but really hope he goes right to the very top."
