Rafael Alcântara do Nascimento (born 12 February 1993), commonly known as Rafinha, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Spanish club FC Barcelona and the Brazil national team as an attacking midfielder. He started his career with Barcelona, making his debut with the first team in 2011. After a loan at Celta Vigo, he played his first league match for the Catalans in 2014. Rafinha represented both Spain and Brazil at youth level, before debuting with the latter at senior level in 2015. ==Club career== Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Rafinha joined FC Barcelona's youth ranks at the age of 13. On 8 January 2011 he made his professional debuts with the B-team, coming on as a substitute for Jonathan dos Santos in the 55th minute of a 1–2 home loss against Girona FC for the second division championship. Rafinha made his debut with Barcelona main squad on 9 November 2011, taking the place of Cesc Fàbregas for the last 15 minutes of a 1–0 away win against CE L'Hospitalet for the season's Copa del Rey.〔(Otro 'Iniestazo' (Another 'Iniestazo') ); Marca, 9 November 2011 〕 He finished the league campaign with 39 games – 35 starts – and eight goals for the reserves. On 27 June 2013 Rafinha extended his contract with ''Barça'', keeping him at the club until 2016. A few weeks later, he was loaned to fellow La Liga team Celta de Vigo. Rafinha made his debut in the main category of Spanish football on 19 August 2013, helping Celta to a 2–2 home draw against RCD Espanyol. He scored his first goal for the Galicians 12 days later, in another draw at the Balaídos (1–1, with Granada CF). Rafinha netted a brace at Real Sociedad on 23 November, but it amounted to nothing as the hosts won it 4–3 with four goals from Carlos Vela. He was voted the league's Breakthrough Player of the Season, ahead of Real Madrid's Jesé and Rayo Vallecano's Saúl Ñíguez. Rafinha made his top flight debut for Barcelona on 24 August 2014 at the Camp Nou, in Luis Enrique's first match in charge. He played the first half of an eventual 3–0 win over Elche CF before being substituted for Marc Bartra. On 25 November 2014, Rafinha assisted Lionel Messi's goal in a 4–0 win at APOEL Nicosia which made him the outright top scorer in the history of the Champions League; however, Rafinha was sent off for two bookings later on in the match. With compatriot Neymar out through illness, Rafinha started on the left of Barcelona's attack in the 2015 UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla FC in Tbilisi, and scored their third goal in a 5–4 triumph. On 16 September 2015, Rafinha suffered a torn right anterior cruciate ligament during Champions League 1–1 away draw at Roma, leaving the game on a stretcher after being on the receiving end of a heavy challenge from Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan. After surgery, he is expected to be out for about six months. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rafinha (footballer, born 1993)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
