Barcelona Growing Tired of Forward Raphinha’s Attitude After Touchline Antics

• Raphinha’s recent attitude and behaviour is giving Barcelona cause for concern
• The Brazilian forward angered the club when he was substituted against Getafe
• Barcelona have now gone without a win in three matches in a row in the league

Barcelona forward, Raphinha is already getting on the nerves of his employers with his attitude despite only joining the Catalan club last summer.

The Brazilian forward reacted angrily after he was substituted in the 87th minute by Xavi, during the goalless draw against Getafe on Sunday as the Catalans failed to win in their third consecutive game.

According to Barca Universal, Raphinha’s behaviour is said to be not going down too well with the Barcelona coaching staff as well as some of his teammates.

Xavi wants La Blaugrana to be a 'family' that prioritises the group over the individual and it is claimed that the Brazilian's behaviour contradicts this idea the manager is attempting to instill in the team.

Meanwhile, Raphinha has revealed he finds it difficult not to get angry whenever he gets substituted because he likes being on the pitch, SB Nation reports.

The Brazilian had promised he would change his attitude after his first outburst against Man United in the Europa League but had failed to keep his promise.

Raphinha threw another strop after being taken off against Getafe on Sunday and was pictured apparently sulking after the final whistle as he sat on the bench.

The Brazilian winger joined La Blaugrana amid huge fanfare last summer from Leeds but the 26-year-old has failed to meet the club’s expectations.

Raphinha has only managed two goals in 16 appearances for Barcelona, prompting reports of the club being willing to offload him after one season.
