Talking about the new Barcelona side, the Catalans announced the signing of the newest winger Raphinha from Leeds United. The Brazilian on his unveiling talked about how he has been a massive Barca fan because of stars like Ronaldinho, Deco, and Neymar.

He said: "I fell in love with Barça because of Ronaldinho and it is has always been my dream to play here. I have lots of models, Deco, Neymar...they have all influenced me and made me dream of coming here and being a champion."

The Brazilian then addressed the fans and gave them what they can expect this season: "I am a player who always wants to win and give my best. I look to improve every day...I don't set personal targets, I think if the team is doing well, the personal happens by itself. I will do my best for the team to be a success,"  Raphinha added.
