Barcelona star Raphinha has on Wednesday secured for himself an altogether noteworthy piece of Blaugrana goalscoring history. This comes after the Brazilian continued his stellar opening to the new season.
Hansi Flick’s troops kicked their latest Champions League campaign into gear a short time ago, welcoming Dutch outfit Feyenoord to the Spotify Camp Nou.
The aforementioned Raphinha featured from the off in the fixture, from his new role as Barca’s attacking spearhead. And inside the opening five minutes, the former Leeds United man was on target yet again…
Picked out by Lamine Yamal approaching the visitors’ penalty area, Raphinha showcased characteristic composure and ruthlessness to slot home the evening’s opener.
And as alluded to above, in the process, the 29-year-old etched his name indellibly into the storied history books in Catalunya’s capital.
In nothing short of a remarkable statistic, Raphinha tonight became the first player to ever score in each of Barcelona’s five fixtures of a season.
