Footage showcasing the efforts of a leading member of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona during training has turned heads online late on Tuesday.
The player in question? Raphinha.
Wide-man Raphinha is for his part of course in the midst of a blistering start to the new campaign.
Looking like a player reborn under the watch of new head coach Hansi Flick, the 27-year-old has stood as arguably Barcelona’s standout player, en route to four wins from four in La Liga.
All told, he has racked up three goals and two assists, the highlight of which came this past weekend, when Raphinha notched a brilliant hat-trick against Real Valladolid.
And such excellence, as alluded to above, appears to have carried over into Blaugrana training, too.
Suspended for one of Brazil’s two upcoming fixtures, the former Leeds United standout was omitted from Dorival Júnior’s latest Seleção squad, for the international break.
And Raphinha has made use of this opportunity to continue showcasing his individual brilliance in Catalunya’s capital.
As showcased in the footage below, unveiled across Barcelona’s social media platforms on Tuesday evening, the talented winger was responsible for a sumptuous solo goal in training earlier today:
