The Spanish Super Cup final between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona is just hours away. Raphinha is determined to turn this match into a quest for revenge.

During the last Clásico in La Liga, Raphinha was sidelined due to a recurrence of his hamstring injury. But this time, in Saudi Arabia, the Brazilian will be on the pitch against Real Madrid. In the previous clash at the Santiago Bernabéu (2-1), he watched from the bench, even stepping in to calm a heated skirmish involving Carvajal, Lamine Yamal, and Vinícius.

Now fully fit, Raphinha says he’s ready to reclaim his key role and make an attacking impact against Real Madrid, according to Sport. The Brazilian remains one of the most effective players against Los Blancos, boasting five goals and three assists in 11 encounters.
