Raphinha received a significant boost in EA Sports FC 26 after going from the exit ramp at Barcelona to a Ballon d’Or candidate a year later.
The tremendously popular video game franchise is close to releasing its newest iteration on Sept. 22. Leading up to the upcoming EA Sports FC 26 drop, EA Sports unveiled the ratings of the top 26 men’s and women’s players in the newest game, with Raphinha cracking the top 10 for the first time ever.
The Brazilian winger put together one of the greatest statistical seasons a Barcelona player not named Lionel Messi has ever produced. With 34 goals and 25 assists across all competitions, he spearheaded Barça’s charge to a domestic treble. He also equalled Cristiano Ronaldo for the greatest individual season in terms of goal contributions in Champions League history.
His rise from a solid player to a world-class talent was meteoric and merited recognition both in real life and with a massive improvement to his overall rating in EA Sports FC 26.
