    Raphinha slammed over ‘shameless’ act in Barcelona’s win against Dortmund

    RAPHINHA has been slammed on social media after a “shameless” act in the Champions League.The Brazilian netted Barcelona’s opening goal in the Catalans’ 4-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their quarter-final tie.Raphinha prods home from right on the goal lineRaphinha has 12 goals in 11 Champions League games this termCredit: GettyRaphinha’s actions denied Pau Cubarsi his first ever Champions League goalCredit: GettyRobert Lewandowski haunted his former side once again with a brace, before teenage sensation Lamine Yamal completed the rout on 77 minutes. But Raphinha, the former Leeds United winger, was the big talking point as he was slated for perceived selfishness during Barca’s win.The anger comes after he bundled home to break the deadlock in the 25th minute at the Estadi OIympic Lluis Companys, Barca’s temporary home while the Nou Camp gets renovated.The Brazilian earned bucketload of backlash online for “stealing” a goal from Pau Cubarsi, the teenage centre-back who’s never scored in the Champions League.Read more FootballCurbasi, the 18-year-old Spanish defender, turned an Inigo Martinez knockdown from Fermin Lopez’s free kick goalbound, with the ball trickling towards the far corner.However, Raphinha, ghosting in unmarked at the back post, made sure that the ball went in by getting the last touch just before it crossed the line.The incident sparkled a frenzy on social media, with one fan taking to X to comment: “Raphinha having no shame in stealing what would’ve been an 18 year old’s first ever Champions League goal”, while another tweeted: “That was shameless from Raphinha”.Raphinha’s 12th goal in Europe this season really upset one fan, who tweeted: “That’s the sort of stupidity that shouldn’t be rewarded”.Most read in Champions LeagueJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSOthers expressed their dismay at Raphinha’s selfishness, saying: “Goal robbed” and “I would be so mad if I was Curbasi…”.Another claimed that Raphinha had “snatched Cubarsi’s goal to boost his Ballon D’Or chances”, but perhaps the most brutal comment was that Raphinha is “a crook” and there was “no way you try stat pad when it was already going in ffs… this Ballon D’or s*** got guys acting outta character.”The result leaves Hansi Flick’s side with one foot in the last four of Europe’s premier competition, and Barca will face the winners of Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, assuming they avoid a sensational comeback in Dortmund next week.Barca are having a strong season, going under the radar of many in Flick’s first term in the hotseat, and the German has them top of LaLiga by four points, en route to taking back the league title that they lost to Real Madrid in the last campaign.Robert Lewandowski was the thorn in his former club’s side, scoring twiceLamine Yamal was also among the goalscorers More

    Inside axed F1 star Liam Lawson’s glamorous life with stunning model Wag as he’s set to be brutally replaced by Red Bull

    LIAM LAWSON has had nothing short of a nightmare start to life at Red Bull this year.After a strong debut replacing Daniel Ricciardo at VCARB in 2023 and then again in 2024, the 23-year-old started out his first race with the team by failing to finish the Australian Grand Prix. Liam Lawson is set to be axed by Red Bull after a horror start to his F1 career thereCredit: AFPBut Lawson leads a glamorous life off the track with girlfriend Hannah St. JohnCredit: INSTAGRAMShe is often seen accompanying him to race weekends around the paddockCredit: INSTAGRAMThe couple have been dating for two yearsCredit: INSTAGRAMThey happily share loved-up snaps togetherCredit: INSTAGRAMHannah graduated from Arizona State University after studying biological and biomedical sciencesCredit: INSTAGRAMHe then followed this up with an even more embarrassing weekend in China as he qualified dead last in both Sprint and normal qualifying while failing to score any points for his team.But for Lawson, who revealed his parents had to sell their house to fund his Formula One dream, his Red Bull nightmare is set to come to a close before the next race at the Japanese Grand Prix.The New Zealander is on the verge of being swapped to sister team Racing Bulls in favour of Yuki Tsunoda, who was the main rival for the Red Bull seat alongside Max Verstappen before Lawson landed it.However, despite his F1 career starting out in horror fashion, Lawson can be thankful for a glamorous lifestyle away from the circuit with stunning girlfriend Hannah St. John.READ MORE IN F1The pair have been dating one another for two years and are often seen sharing loved-up images with one another on Instagram.Hannah typically splits her time between her home city of California and London while also studying at Arizona State University.While there she studied biological and biomedical sciences, graduating back in December, but has carved out a fledgling career as a social media influencer and model.The beauty has already amassed over 40,000 followers on Instagram.Most read in MotorsportBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKShe treats her fans to her epic lifestyle, which included being back stage at Luke Combs’ Nashville concert last January.Hannah also shares plenty of bikini snaps online, showing off her enviable figure.Meet F1 2025 rookies including star gifted first go-kart by Michael Schumacher and Brit teen who’s already a millionaire To top it off, she enjoys travelling – most recently, she went on a glam ski strip to Deer Valley in Utah.She has also been a constant presence in the F1 paddock whenever Lawson, who started out his career in the motorsport with a string of substitute appearances, is there.With one million followers of his own on Instagram, Lawson is no stranger to the buzz of social media and often posts snaps from day-to-day life.Whether that is his time at the track or jetting around on holiday with Hannah or even hitting the gym.One pic shows him hanging out with stars from the Los Angeles Rams NFL team, a second shows him driving a more than £100,000 Shelby while another features him on the front cover of GQ Magazine.Despite the lavish lifestyle, Lawson has a relatively modest salary compared to his rivals.He earns £800,000 a year, though that value could decrease once his demotion to Racing Bulls is complete, with Tsunoda in turn getting a pay rise.Tsunoda, 24, said he would happily swap seats for his home race.However, Lawson bit back by saying: “He can say whatever he wants. I’ve raced him for years, raced him in the junior categories and beat him.”If I look back over our career, I was team-mates with him in F3 and I beat him. In Euro Formula, I was team-mates with him in New Zealand, and I beat him there.”And then in F1 last season, I think honestly, if I look at all the times he got promoted instead of me in those early years, then no. He’s had his time. Now it’s my time.”Despite Lawson’s claim, he was out-qualified by Tsunoda 7-2 when the pair were team-mates during the closing stages of last season. It was also 4-2 in the Japanese driver’s favour for the five races Lawson subbed in for Ricciardo during the 2023 season.The driver swap decision has reportedly left main man Verstappen frustrated, with the four-time world champion having previously sang Lawson’s praises.READ MORE SUN STORIESHe said: “That Racing Bulls car is easier to drive than ours. I notice that when I talk to Liam. Last year the difference between him and Yuki wasn’t that big, I thought.”Otherwise the team wouldn’t have made the choice to put Liam in at Red Bull.” More
