Raphinha's luck took a downturn as he faced Sevilla following his standout performance against Mallorca, where he scored Barcelona's opening goal with a spectacular left-footed strike. Xavi handed him his third LaLiga start of the season against Sevilla. Regrettably, the Brazilian winger had to exit the match in the 35th minute due to an injury.
Fermín López, who had also found the net at Son Moix, replaced him. Raphinha sustained the injury while taking a shot, grasping the back of his right leg, indicating a potential muscle tear. Despite his promising run behind the Sevilla defense, he felt the strain at the moment of the shot.
Following his impressive display in central areas against Javier Aguirre's Mallorca side, Xavi opted to deploy Raphinha on the right side of the midfield, allowing the winger position to be filled by Lamine Yamal, another player who has been in excellent form for the squad.
