The Spanish newspaper 'Sport' confirmed that Brazilian Rafinha is experiencing the best phases of his football career and insists on continuing with Barcelona, rejecting the idea of leaving before achieving the goal he set for himself since joining the team.

The newspaper mentioned that Rafinha celebrated his 29th birthday at the peak of his performance, after leading Barcelona to victory over Osasuna by scoring a decisive brace that strengthened the team's lead in the Spanish league, confirming his status as one of the team's leaders both on and off the field.

According to the same newspaper, the Osasuna match embodied Rafinha's current character as a decisive player with a strong presence, capable of appearing in moments when the team needs him, after a development journey that was not easy but was characterized by consistency and self-confidence.

The newspaper pointed out that since joining Barcelona, Rafinha has played 157 official matches, scoring 60 goals and providing 48 assists, in addition to winning five titles, including two La Liga titles, the Copa del Rey, and two Super Cup titles. He also won the Best Player award in La Liga last season after scoring 18 goals and assisting 9.

Sport explained that Rafinha's true value is not limited to his statistics but extends to his leadership personality, as he transformed from a player considered for departure to an indispensable element, especially after returning from an injury that kept him out for two months, coinciding with a noticeable improvement in Hans Flick's team performance.

The report confirmed that despite the many offers and great interest he has received, Rafinha does not consider leaving Barcelona before achieving his greatest dream, which is to win the UEFA Champions League title with the team. This goal is why he renewed his contract until 2028, affirming his full commitment to the Catalan club.
