Barcelona forward Raphinha has emerged as a major threat to Real Madrid before Sunday's La Liga clash.
His recent record against Madrid
The Brazilian has scored seven goals and added two assists in his last six Clasicos, all of which Barcelona won. He also missed Barcelona's only defeat to Madrid in their last seven meetings in the 2025-26 season.
One of his biggest performances came in Barcelona's 5-2 win over Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final, when he scored twice and set up another goal.
Flick's role change
Much of Raphinha's extra danger comes from Hansi Flick using him in a more central attacking role. That position gives him space behind the opposition line and lets him drift between the two centre-backs to create more chances.
