Leeds United winger Raphinha has once again shown his immense quality on the ball – this time in a Brazil shirt during a draw with Colombia.

The Whites have seen Raphinha dazzle at Elland Road ever since arriving from Rennes in October of last year.

After hitting six goals and nine assists last term, Raphinha already has three goals this season.

Now in and around the Brazil squad, Raphinha was brought on to try and spark a win against Colombia on Sunday.

Under-fire boss Tite threw Rpahinha on for Gabriel Barbosa, but the game ended in a 0-0 draw.

Raphinha produces stunning moment

Raphinha still found time to light up the game with his nonchalant skill though.

Running down the right flank, Raphinha was matched up against left back Johan Mojica. Raphinha knocked the ball past him, chopped back and then beat him a second time.

Mojica was left humiliated, falling to the ground as he simply couldn’t keep up with Raphinha’s pace and skill.

Fans on Twitter have now seen this footage, and are calling Raphinha ‘unreal’ and ‘too hot’.

Some think he should start for Brazil regularly now, believing he is simply playing better than Neymar at the moment.
