Raphinha escapes suspension for furious outburst at referee after Barcelona draw with Real Betis

<p>Barcelona had the perfect chance against Real Betis to put themselves comfortably ahead of Real Madrid in the title race, following Los Blancos' 2-1 loss to Valencia earlier in the day. However, the Blaugrana were held to a 1-1 draw, and during the encounter, Raphinha was spotted in a furious outburst against referee Gil Manzano and the linesman after the latter told the Brazilian to 'shut up'.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20250406/1002440230/habra-sancion-disciplinaria-raphinha.html" target="_blank">Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo</a> has now revealed that Raphinha will not face sanctions or a potential suspension, as the incident was not noted down by referee Manzano in his match notes. Therefore, it is not possible for the Brazilian to be sanctioned unless a third team raise the issue or the RFEF Disciplinary Committee intervenes.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>During his outburst at the referee's linesman, Barcelona captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen and coach Hansi Flick attempted to calm Raphinha down, but the furious Brazilian had a physical throwdown with the former, raising questions over an internal investigation by the club.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Barcelona are looking to win their third treble as they remain alive in all three competitions. Raphinha will likely be a starter on Wednesday, April 9, when Barca take on Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League quarter-final first leg.</p>
