In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Raphinha was in the spotlight by scoring two goals, at 36 and 73 minutes, playing a decisive role in Barcelona's victory over Real Madrid (3-2) to win the Spanish Super Cup, securing the trophy for the second consecutive season.

After the former Sporting player's opening goal, the match experienced a particularly intense period during the first half's stoppage time, with three goals in just a few minutes. Vinícius Júnior equalized at 45'+2, Robert Lewandowski put the Catalans ahead again at 45'+4, and Gonzalo García made it 2-2 at 45'+6, which was the score as the teams headed to the locker rooms.

In the second half, Raphinha's new goal once again gave Barcelona the lead. Near the end, at 90'+1 minutes, Frenkie de Jong's expulsion left the Catalans with ten players, but Real Madrid could not capitalize on the numerical advantage.

Raphinha ended up leaving the field at 83 minutes, after being one of the main highlights of the match, in which Barcelona consolidated their lead in the Spanish Super Cup history (16), now holding three more titles than Real Madrid, which has 13 victories.

This season, wearing the Blaugrana jersey, Raphinha – valued at 80 million euros – played 17 games: 12 in La Liga, three in the Champions League, and two in the Super Cup. In the 1,101 minutes he was on the field, the left-footer scored 11 goals and provided four assists.
