• Barcelona — the market puts it at 79%, with $1k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 7 Jun 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Barcelona wins the 2026-27 La Liga title. It resolves to No if they do not win that specific championship. Readers often mistake this for a bet on any trophy or a different season.
• Barcelona — the market puts it at 43%, closing 8 May 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Barcelona wins the 2026-27 Copa del Rey tournament. It resolves to No if they do not win that specific title. Readers often mistake the linked story about Raphinha becoming captain for the resolution condition, but only the final Copa del Rey winner matters.
• Raphinha — the market puts it at 17%, with $73 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 13 Jun 2027. Raphinha must lead the Champions League in goals during the 2026-27 tournament for the market to resolve to Yes. The outcome depends solely on his goal tally in that specific competition, not his performance for Barcelona or other tournaments. Readers often mistake the linked headline about him becoming captain as relevant, but leadership status does not count toward resolution.
