Raphinha introduced a unique corner kick tactic never before seen in European football, as Barcelona took the lead against Dortmund in their Champions League quarter-final clash.
The Brazilian started his run from outside the field just as Lamine Yamal prepared to take the corner.
He sprinted onto the pitch to receive the short pass and tried to whip in a cross, which was blocked—though there was a potential handball that could’ve resulted in a penalty for Barca.
Here’s the clip:
Because players can’t be offside from a corner, Raphinha’s creative move is entirely within the rules.
Expect other European teams to start mimicking this soon.
