WHAT HAPPENED?
Raphinha has suggested that Barcelona are eyeing a treble of trophies this season. Barcelona has already picked up one trophy, the Spanish Super Cup, earlier in January 2025, and is currently leading La Liga with 67 points, four points ahead of Real Madrid, as the campaign heads towards an exciting finish. They recently claimed a dominant 4-0 first-leg win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League quarter-finals and advanced to the Copa del Rey Final after overcoming Atlético Madrid in the semis.
Hansi Flick’s side has been dominant in 2025 and is now aiming to secure all three trophies up for grabs. Barcelona will face Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final and is in a strong position to reach the Champions League semifinals, potentially facing Bayern Munich or Inter Milan in the next round. This comes after beating Dortmund 4-0 in the first leg of the Quarter-finals, putting them in a very strong position to move on to the next stage.
Raphinha has been integral to Barca’s success this season, contributing 50 goal involvements (28 goals and 22 assists) in all competitions, and will be crucial in the final weeks of the season as the Catalans aim to replicate their past treble successes, achieved in 2008-09 and 2014-15.
WHAT NEXT?
Barcelona is preparing to host Leganés at the Estadi Olímpic on Saturday in La Liga. Following that, they will travel to Germany for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund, aiming to protect their four-goal advantage. The team is also gearing up for the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid and several crucial La Liga matches as they push for a third treble in the club’s history.
