Why Raphinha Isn’t Playing for Barcelona vs. Real Sociedad
Raphinha has been nothing short of sensational since the start of 2026, but Barcelona will be without their dazzling Brazilian when they take on Real Sociedad on Sunday night.
The Brazilian was instrumental to Barcelona lifting their first trophy of the campaign this time last week. Raphinha followed up his brace in the Spanish Super Cup semifinals with another pair of strikes, including the match-winner in the final vs. Real Madrid.
Barcelona are now back in action in La Liga looking to go four points clear of Los Blancos atop the standings as their title defense continues. Furthermore, if Barcelona defeat Real Sociedad, they would make it 12 straight wins across all competitions, the second-longest winning streak in club history.

Hansi Flick: 'We have to win at Anoeta'
Hansi Flick’s FC Barcelona go to Anoeta with one clear objective. To win. “If we want to win the league, we have to beat Real Sociedad,” said the German coach, who is pleased with his team’s mindset and attitude when it comes to getting results.
“It will be a tough match because Real Sociedad have some fantastic players" Flick said ahead of Sunday’s clash on 18 January in San Sebastián. "And they’re in good form after their recent results. They’ve grown in confidence since Matarazzo arrived.”
Much of the focus in the press room at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper was on individual Barça players. One of the main talking points was Raphinha: “He didn’t train because he took a knock. We still don’t know whether he’ll be available against Real Sociedad.”
