Raphinha continues to be 'sweet' with FC Barcelona at the beginning of 2024/25. After his hat-trick against Bayern Munich, the Porto Alegre player added another goal and an assist in the beating of Real Madrid (0-4)
FC Barcelona crushed Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu (0-4) in another round day for Raphinha. The winger scored and assisted in the final stretch of the match to seal the Barça victory, in a second half in which the culés gave the 'merengue' team a victory.
The '11' had been very close to assisting Robert Lewandowski in the 67th minute, but the Pole failed in the definition into an empty goal, finishing directly at the post. With Madrid completely broken in the background, the Brazilian took advantage ten minutes later to enable Lamine Yamal on the right.
The youth, with time and space, took an unstoppable right hand, breaking Lunin's goal to make it 0-3 partial. True to their custom this season, the culés continued attacking and, in the 84th minute, the final 'pulla' came.
Raphinha controlled a long ball from Iñigo Martínez in the race and, using speed and power, left Lucas Vázquez in one-on-one situations. Lunin went out to block at the end, but the culé forward resolved by subtly poking it.

Raphinha reached his top scorer with Barça before November
Furthermore, the Brazilian reached his top scorer in his first two seasons with Barça. Before the end of the month of October, Rapha has scored 10 goals and 8 assists in 14 appearances, statistics with which he consolidates himself as one of the best wingers in the world at this time.
In the League, the player from Porto Alegre has 6 goals and 6 assists, tied with Lamine Yamal in the lead in assists and also with Kylian Mbappé in third place in the tournament's scoring table. Only Ayoze Pérez (7) and Robert Lewandowski (14) have scored more goals than the Brazilian in the first 11 days of the championship.
With the arrival of Hansi Flick, Raphinha has taken a step forward in Barça's XI, also consolidating himself as one of the leaders of the locker room. The '11' has worn the captain's armband in the absence of Ter Stegen, Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araújo, responding to the confidence of the coaching staff with a remarkable performance that could end in a historic season, at the level of Neymar Jr. in his best time.
