The surprising statistic that places Raphinha above Lewandowski and Lamine

Raphinha's two assists in the 'five' of FC Barcelona against Valencia at Mestalla (0-5) allowed the Brazilian to reach a surprising statistic that places him above all the forwards of FC Barcelona. Neither Robert Lewandowski (30 goals) nor Lamine Yamal (11 goals) match the offensive production of the '11' culé in terms of consistency across all competitions.

And at the moment, Rafa has 23 goals and 14 assists in 34 matches, but he is the only player capable of scoring and assisting in at least four different competitions this season. The Porto Alegre native has 12 goals and 6 assists in LaLiga, in addition to another 8 goals and 5 assists in the Champions League. Additionally, he scored a couple of times in the Supercopa, where he also assisted a goal in the 'five' against Real Madrid in the final (2-5).

Raphinha, the most consistent scorer in Europe

With the assists to Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal to close the rout at Mestalla, Raphinha completed the full set in the Cup, a tournament where he had already scored once against Betis in the round of 16 (5-1). Lewandowski, on the other hand, is quite far behind both in terms of assists. Robert has only provided 3 assists (2 in La Liga and 1 in the Supercopa), although he has scored at least one goal in all four competitions played by Barça.

If he adds any assists in the 'semis' of the Cup or the round of 16 of the Champions, he will match his teammate's record in the culé attack. Lamine Yamal himself (11G/14A) has also not achieved the full set of goals and assists in all competitions. Lamine only missed providing an assist in the Supercopa de España, where he did score against Athletic and Real Madrid. So far, Rafa has participated in 37 of the 109 goals scored by Barça in 2024-25, meaning the Brazilian produces 34% of the powerful azulgrana offense. A true madness.
