Raphinha reveals the secret behind his kissing Barçelona's badge

Barcelona's striker Raphinha shared his thoughts on why he kissed the club's badge following his goal in the team's daunting 5-1 victory over Mallorca. The win allowed La Blaugrana to recover from a recent home loss to Las Palmas and maintain their position at the top of the league table.

Under the guidance of manager Hansi Flick, Raphinha has emerged as a consistently reliable player this season, contributing effectively with both goals and assists.

Raphinha explains the reason for kissing Barcelona's badge 

Raphinha was among the players that some Barcelona fans wanted to be sold during the summer transfer window. However, he has proven his worth by delivering high-level performances despite the speculation. The 27-year-old stated that kissing the Blaugrana badge is a powerful expression of his deep passion for the club. He is fully committed to Barça and believes he is in the best form of his career. Raphinha is determined to achieve even greater things for the team.

“Kissing the badge is a way of showing what I feel for this club. I love this club. I’m in the best form of my career. I don’t wanna stop. I want to do much more for Barça.” Raphinha said.

With Robert Lewandowski rested, Raphinha displayed his leadership abilities against Mallorca by scoring both of his goals in the second half. He converted a penalty for the first goal and followed it up with a close-range banger.

Barcelona secured a much-needed victory, marking their first win in four matches, with a convincing 5-1 triumph over Mallorca. Young prodigy Lamine Yamal also contributed significantly, with a fantastic Trivela assist to set up a goal during his first start since early November.
