Raphinha continues to improve his impressive records with FC Barcelona in the 2024-25 season. Against Valencia, the Brazilian reached 23 goals and 9 assists in 31 matches
Raphinha is the undisputed leader of Spanish football in goals produced in the 2024-25 season. With his goal against Valencia (7-1), the Brazilian reached 23 goals scored this season, along with 9 assists in all competitions. Thus, the '11' of FC Barcelona has participated in 32 goals in 31 matches, meaning Rafa contributes with more than 1 goal or assist in each game played by Hansi Flick's team.
The Porto Alegre native has only missed the Copa del Rey match against Barbastro (0-4) and has already accumulated 2,537 minutes of action, with just one appearance as a substitute in Pamplona against Osasuna (4-2). Behind Rafa are Robert Lewandowski and Vinicius Jr. The Pole has participated in 31 goals (28 goals and 3 assists), while the Brazilian has contributed to 26 goals scored by Real Madrid (16G and 10 A).
Raphinha scored again in LaLiga and remains third in the race for the Pichichi
For Raphinha, his goal against Valencia was the twelfth in LaLiga, keeping him as the third top scorer of the tournament. Lewandowski, who also scored on Sunday, reached 17 goals, while Kylian Mbappé is second with 15. The '11' scored the 3-0 goal against the 'che' team in the 14th minute, taking advantage of a superb through ball from Fermín López to leave Mamardashvili behind in a one-on-one and finish into an empty net.
This was the first goal for the winger since the 'five-goal' match against Mallorca (1-5) on December 3. Betis (2-2), Leganés (0-1), Atlético de Madrid (1-2), and Getafe (1-1) escaped from Rafa's goals and assists. Interestingly, Barça could not win any of these matches and, every time the South American forward scores or assists this season, the culés have always managed to secure victory. Rafa had just scored a brace against Benfica on Tuesday, and both in the Cup (1 against Betis) and in the Supercup (2 against Madrid) he had managed to score this month.
