After their Champions League masterclass, Newcastle United supporters want PIF to sign their “perfect” £55 million hero.
Raphinha was linked to Newcastle United before to his high-profile transfer to Barcelona in 2022.
Fans of Newcastle United begged for Raphinha to be brought to the Toon after he scored an incredible brace against Paris Saint-Germain.
Barcelona has a good chance of making it to the Champions League semifinals after shocking the Parisians 3-2 at their home stadium. Many unyielding Toon supporters were supporting the Catalans because they were still bitter at Tino Livramento’s contentious stoppage-time penalty at the Parc des Princes.
With two goals, Raphinha proved to be the difference, leaving PSG with an uphill battle in the second leg. His first came after a rebound, as he calmly slotted in Barca’s first goal with his right foot from just inside the box.
Raphinha brought the score back to even after the host rallied to take a 2-1 lead. After Pedri delicately sent the ball over the PSG defense, the Brazilian struck a volley that found its way into the bottom corner.
Although he was removed just before Barcelona took the lead again, Newcastle supporters had already begun to demand his appearance at St James’ Park. “Raphinha on smoke tonight!” a fan wrote. I beseech you, get him to the Toon (I know, wishful thinking).
