Barcelona summer signing Raphinha threw down the gauntlet to arch-rivals Real Madrid after starring on debut for his new club.
Raphinha joined Barca last Friday in a deal initially worth £50million that could rise up to £55million with add-ons. He made his first non-competitive appearance for Xavi’s side during their 6-0 win over Major League Soccer outfit Inter Miami in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The Brazil international, 25, started the match and did not take long to make an impact, setting up Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang’s 19th-minute opener before doubling the lead himself with a classy volley midway through the first half.
