Raphinha breaks his record for goalscoring at FC Barcelona!

Raphinha's goals are falling out of his pockets. The Brazilian is in a state of grace and night after night he is confirming himself as one of the top figures of FC Barcelona this season. In the Catalan derby against Espanyol this Sunday (3-1), the winger once again registered his name in the statistics by scoring the second goal that began to decide the match in favor of the culés.

The Porto Alegre native charged into space and got behind the periquito defense. Marc Casadó sent a brutal assist between the lines and, despite the ball not reaching him in the most comfortable way possible, the Barça '11' managed to chip the ball over the rival goalkeeper and increase the Catalans' advantage to two goals.

Raphinha surpasses his goalscoring record at Barça

With this goal, Raphinha surpasses his best goalscoring record at Barça until this season. In his first year in Barcelona (2022/23), the winger racked up ten goals, counting the League, Copa del Rey and Europa League (he did not score in the Champions League group stage), the same figure he reached in his second season wearing the Barça shirt (2023/24).

Now, the footballer has already scored 11 goals in the 15 games (7 in the League and 4 in the Champions League) that have been played this season, with memorable performances such as his hat-tricks against Valladolid and Bayern Munich. The Brazilian has managed to radically change his situation at the club and, today, he is one of the great stars of a project that promises to make history.
