‘Ballon d’Or clause’ - Leeds United supporters react after Raphinha wondergoal vs Real Madrid

Raphinha continued his outstanding start to life as a Barcelona player last night as he scored a wondergoal to help his side beat Real Madrid 1-0 in Las Vegas. The Brazilian got his dream move to the Camp Nou last week, signing for around £55million.

And he is wasting no time in making an impact, adding an El Clasico winner to the goal and two assists in his debut against Inter Miami. The 25-year-old picked up the ball on the edge of the area last night before firing into Thibaut Courtois’ top corner - a goal that eventually won the friendly.

The ex-Leeds man said during the week that he hoped to score against Barcelona’s old rivals, adding fuel to the fire by adding ‘I think that we're better than them.’ And he stayed true to his word by downing Carlo Ancelotti’s side and cementing his status as one of the most dangerous wingers in the world.
