"Rafa arrived in August 2017, and on December 10 of that same year, he became a league champion for the first time by winning the iconic Final Regia, leading the team from midfield.
From that moment on, the Brazilian contributed to winning eight titles with Tigres: three league championships, two Campeón de Campeones, two Campeones Cup, and one Concacaf Champions League. Over nearly eight years, he played 336 matches wearing the feline jersey, competed in 16 Liga MX tournaments to become the brain of the midfield, and today he leaves as a true emblem of this team, with a guaranteed place in the Volcán's Ring of Legends."
Se va del futbol mexicano el centrocampista que, desde su debut (2017), cuenta con más pases recibidos y más pases precisos en la Liga estilo definido de centrocampista, Tigres lo extrañará y también pronto, Rafa Carioca.
