Raphinha Cleared to Face Real Madrid, Flick Confirms for El Clásico

Raphinha Cleared to Face Real Madrid, Flick Confirms for El Clásico — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Barcelona boss Hansi Flick has announced that Raphinha is fully fit and set to join the squad for this weekend’s La Liga tie against Osasuna. His return also boosts hopes for the upcoming El Clásico clash with Real Madrid. Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Flick highlighted Raphinha’s work ethic and praised his mentality during recovery. The coach added that teenage midfielder Marc Bernal is also back in contention after a long layoff. This news comes as a major lift for Barça’s attack, which missed the Brazilian’s pace and creativity during a crucial hamstring injury earlier in the season. Fans will watch closely to see if Raphinha can help seal a second straight league title.

With Raphinha back in the squad, how do you think his pace and flair will influence Barcelona's approach against Osasuna and Real Madrid?

Absolutely. His speed and creativity will stretch defences, giving Barcelona more options down the wings and opening up space centrally.

I see where you're coming from—his flair can inject tempo, yet I'm skeptical about how much it shifts Barca's overall gameplan.

I dey impressed that Flick trusts Raphinha's readiness, but a few light training sessions might not match El Clásico intensity.

Sure, he's cleared, but relying on Raphinha return alone ignores defensive gaps that Real Madrid could still exploit in midfield transitions.

Barcelona should integrate Raphinha gradually, maybe bring him off the bench early against Osasuna to gauge match fitness before El Clásico.
