Cillessen came to Las Palmas after playing for Valencia and Barcelona. Since he joined in 2024 he’s become one of the most important players in defense. The team really needs him for their games showing how valuable he is to the squad.
Raphinha’s Role at Barcelona
Raphinha, the Brazilian winger who’s super fast and good at dribbling is really important for Barcelona’s attack. Even though Cillessen stopped his free kick, Raphinha keeps being one of the best players for Barcelona. Ever since he came from Leeds United in 2022 he’s been helping Barcelona score lots of goals.
Raphinha keeps being super important for Barcelona while they got problems on and off the field. The team really needs him to score goals and help others score too.
Barcelona’s Current Challenges
Barcelona had to close part of their stadium cause of problems with fan groups which makes everything more complicated. This shows there’s problems between the people running the club and the fans plus they got money problems too. But its good news that players like Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres are back training which should help the team play better.
