Compared to Dembele, Raphinha may be a bit behind. Because Dembele has been in good form this season. But it cannot be said that Raphinha is very weak. He is quite talented. But he missed a lot of opportunities. Every chance is very important in such an important match. And so Xavi needs to fine-tune his match strategy. If the match strategy is weak, it will not be possible to defeat the United team.
Raphinha should not be looked down on by United players even if Dembele is not present. Xavi is well aware of Dembele's absence in that game, and I'm sure he has a backup plan in place by now. His main focus will be breaking through Manchester United's defense, and he will go to any length to do so in order for the team to win.
Many have seen Raphinha underestimated. Raphnha is a very talented player. But he is not experienced enough. If he was experienced, he would not have missed such an easy opportunity. However, I see no chance of underestimating Raphinha. In yesterday's La Liga match, Raphinha showed a great performance against Sevilla. He scored one goal and one assist. And Barcelona got a nice 3-0 win. My guess is that Raphinha will not disappoint the fans in the match against Manchester United. Even without Dembele in the squad, Raphinha, Lewandowski, and Gavi look set to lead Barcelona to victory.
