Author of a double during the Clasico, Raphinha was one of the major actors in the fourth success of the season of FC Barcelona against Real Madrid (4-3). During his first goal, he celebrated by getting closer to the camera and ostensibly showing the bandage that covered his arm and his right wrist. A response to the accusations of a former doctor from Real Madrid, who openly accused Barça of concealing doping marks behind these bandages.

Questioned by MarcaNiko Mihic, a former Madrid doctor, said “I don't know what's going on, but every doctor knows that to easily access the veins, the hand and the wrist are the best options”casting doubt on the bandages of Lewandowski, Jong, Yamal or Raphinha. Obviously, the remark was very badly on the side of the Brazilian, who did not fail to recall it in front of the camera after his goal.
