Barcelona’s new boy Raphinha made a debut to remember on Tuesday when he scored and provided two assists in a 6-0 thrashing of Inter Miami, while Romeo Beckham and Harvey Neville made guest appearances in a friendly.
It was the 25-year-old Brazilian forward who led Xavi’s side to an easy win against the MLS club owned by English icon David Beckham.
While it was a debut to remember for Raphinha, it turned out to be an eye-opening experience for the sons of the two former Manchester United stars, with Harvey Neville getting a full half against the Catalan giants, while Romeo Beckham just four minutes into the game. got to make a point. .

Manchester United target Frenkie de Jong appeared in the second half, replacing new signing Franck Kessie in what was a strong Barcelona side for the friendly at the DRV PNK stadium.

It was Barca’s first of four games in their US pre-season tour which continues on Saturday with a Clasico against bitter rivals Real Madrid in Las Vegas.
“I think we are better than Real Madrid,” Raphinha told reporters.
“I am very happy that I scored my first goal and that it worked out well on my debut. I felt very good. I hope I can continue like this.
“Of course I want to score a goal against Real Madrid on Saturday. Scoring always gives confidence and when you do it against a team like Real Madrid even more.”
