Raphinha shines in Mbappe’s Paris
Having lived through one and experiencing another this season, Ilkay Gündogan knows a thing or two about squad transitions. Barcelona's Brazilian forward Raphinha leaps in the air as he celebrates scoring Barcelona's second goal during the UEFA Champions League quarter vs Paris Saint-Germain Wednesday’s 3-2 win against Paris St-Germain means Barcelona can do one better. The Brazilian showed he could play on the left to accommodate teen prodigy Yamal and became the first player since Lionel Messi to score twice in a knockout game in the Champions League for Barcelona. Near half-time, Raphinha had worked up the left side again, found Yamal who wasted the move with a poor shot when a pass to Lewandowski may have helped cement Barcelona’s superiority. Like against Real in 2019 and Bayern last season, his errors could again hurt PSG’s quest for a first Champions League title.
