Raphinha Nears Entry into Prestigious List with Barcelona
Barcelona player Raphinha is nearing entry into the list of the top 100 most participating players in the club's history, according to data from 'Transfermarkt' as reported by 'Sport'.
Raphinha currently has 175 official matches in a Barcelona jersey, and if he participates in the remaining four matches of the season, starting with the Clasico against Real Madrid, he will reach 179 matches, securing a place in the list of the top 100 most participating players in the club's history.
According to the same source, this number will place the Brazilian player at 99th historically, surpassing names like Julio Cesar, Francesc Calvet, and Urbano Ortega, each with 178 matches, while he will be just behind Johan Cruyff, who ended his career with Barcelona with 180 matches.
Raphinha currently shares the same match count with historical players such as Luis Suárez and Oleguer Presas.
Among current players, Marc-André ter Stegen leads with 423 matches, followed by Frenkie de Jong with 295, then Pedri with 242, Ronald Araújo with 211, Ferran Torres with 204, Robert Lewandowski with 189, and Jules Koundé with 186.
The list also includes players who are future candidates to enter the club of 100, such as Alejandro Balde with 164 matches, Eric García with 163, Gavi with 163, Lamine Yamal with 151, Fermín López with 134, and Pau Cubarsi with 126.
The report indicated that Raphinha was close to entering this list earlier, before an injury sustained during a friendly match between Brazil and France during the last international break prevented him.
