Barça Uses Raphinha as Striker

With the departure of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres (who scored 40 goals last season), Hansi Flick has adapted by converting Raphinha to a central forward role. The Brazilian winger has quickly justified this tactical shift, scoring 3 goals in Barça's first two LaLiga matches of the 2026-27 season.

Barça's multi-purpose approach has shown promising results early in the season as Flick continues to work without a traditional number 9, relying on Raphinha's versatility to lead the attack. albergomalica.it
