Raphinha is in top form as Barca prepares to face Real Madrid

Raphinha comes back fully fit and motivated to take the field, delivering a significant lift for Barcelona before their trip to face Real Madrid in the El Clasico on October 26.

According to insiders at Barcelona, Raphinha has completely recovered from his hamstring injury and is ready to participate in the upcoming El Clasico. The Brazilian player is said to be "100% fit and highly eager to compete" after dedicated sessions in the gym. This is excellent news for coach Hansi Flick, especially as the Catalan team faces challenges with personnel in the attacking line.

Raphinha suffered an injury during the match against Real Oviedo last month, forcing him to miss several weeks of play. He diligently followed a personalized recovery program before rejoining training with his teammates last Wednesday. His energetic and strong performance in that first session impressed the Barca coaching staff greatly.

If cleared to play on Sunday evening, Raphinha will be a key figure to enhance Barcelona’s offensive power in the El Clasico at the Bernabeu. Hansi Flick’s squad aims for a third consecutive victory over Real Madrid, and the return of the Brazilian star could be crucial to achieving that goal.

So far this season, Raphinha has scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists, contributing substantially to wins against Girona and the dominant Champions League victory over Olympiacos. His absence over recent weeks has made Barcelona’s right flank less explosive than usual. Now, his comeback promises more attacking options for Lamine Yamal and teammates, especially against a Real Madrid side known for its tight defensive play in big matches.

With his form, determination, and fighting spirit, Raphinha is ready for his return to the Super Classic, where he could make a decisive impact for Barcelona. As Barca seeks a major boost to maintain momentum in La Liga and directly challenge Real for the top spot, Raphinha’s passion could be the spark they need to explode at the Bernabeu. Will the Brazilian star have the magic to help Barcelona overcome Real Madrid once again?
