The Barcelona winger shared loving photos as he relaxed with a smile and ravaged critics with some brutal comebacks.
Many fans reckon pictures speak louder to trolls than words
Raphinha and Natalia Rodrigues are one of Brazilian sport's glamour couples
Raphinha split opinion by deciding to hit back at sad jibes
Raphinha posed in just swim shorts with his arms round Natalia Rodrigues, a childhood friend who he began dating three years ago and wed in February 2022.
But followers of the former Leeds hero were divided between praise for his straight-talking and shock that he took time out to deal with "keyboard warriors".
One of the strangest pieces of abuse faced by Raphinha was this message: "I'm not ugly I just don't have money."
But the 68-cap Brazilian responded with: "You ugly even with money."
Raphinha arguably fired into the top corner even more fiercely with another reply.
One social media user queried: "What would happen to you if you weren’t a Barca player?"
The ex-Rennes and Sporting Lisbon ace retorted: "A lot more man than you, monster."
Prem giants like Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have been linked with Raphinha since he switched from Elland Road to Barca in July 2022.
Raphinha's partner Rodrigues is a huge star online
But the Spanish giants have generally insisted he is not for sale.
And in fact transfer talk over the 27-year-old faded dramatically over the last summer.
Now the main speculation is over why Raphinha has engaged with sad comments online.
One fan wrote: "Why is he entertaining keyboard warriors."
Another said of the "ugly" flare-up: "The crazy thing is Raphinha is handsome so makes no sense
A third observer handed out this advice: "Raphinha should stop replying and just enjoy life."
And a fourth put snide remarks down to jealousy.
He posted: "Raphinha is living there dream lives playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world making 6 figures weekly lol whilst they do nothing but hate."
Meanwhile, the superstar is recuperating on the international break with his partner Natalia.
And many of his fans reckon the 25-year-old Instagram star is the only person who should be an influencer on him when it comes to online views.
