Raphinha has welcomed the increased competition for places in Barcelona's attacking positions following the arrival of Marcus Rashford.

Raphinha enjoyed a sensational campaign last year, which he described as the best of his career to date. In 56 matches across all competitions, he contributed 34 goals and 25 assists, helping Barca secure a domestic treble of LaLiga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Supercopa.

Marcus Rashford’s move to Barcelona falls into that all too rare category of football transfers as it represents a win-win scenario for all parties involved.
