Raphinha scores as Barcelona beat Real Madrid in Las Vegas

  

Raphinha

Last month Barcelona economic vice-president Eduard Romeu asserted he needed 500m euros to "save the club".


Now, six weeks later, the fallen Spanish giants are splashing cash in the transfer market. Big time.


Around £100m has been splurged on Leeds' Raphinha and Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski, and similarly big-money moves for Sevilla's Jules Kounde and Manchester City's Bernardo Silva are being pursued.


So, New signing Raphinha scored the only goal as Barcelona beat Real Madrid in Las Vegas on Saturday night, The Brazil international joined the La Liga giants from Leeds United in a deal worth up to £55m earlier this month.


He has now scored two goals in two pre-season games in the United States, His goal came in the 27th minute after he intercepted a wayward pass from Real's Eder Militao to secure the win in a match in which Robert Lewandowski  made his debut for Barca.


Real Madrid, who were without star striker Karim Benzema, failed to register a shot on target.
