Barcelona winger Raphinha has just fired a bold warning to La Liga rivals, expressing total confidence ahead of next season — and pinpointing two key reasons behind his optimism:
🎯 His New Role and a New Teammate

🔍 What’s Changing?
Position Shift: Raphinha is expected to operate centrally under Hansi Flick — giving him more space to create, dictate play, and deliver the final pass.
Nico Williams Impact: With Nico stretching defenses on the left, Raphinha believes he’ll have greater room to influence the game in dangerous areas.
Leadership Ambitions: The Brazilian star made it clear — he’s ready to lead. With key departures and changes looming, he sees himself as a pillar of the new Barça era.

The confidence is sky-high. With Nico Williams incoming, and a redefined role on the horizon, Raphinha might jus
