Raphinha Aims to Score His First Champions League Goals This Season
Barcelona's player Raphinha, the top scorer of last season's Champions League, aims to score his first goals in the current season's edition when facing Copenhagen in the Champions League, according to the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo'.
Raphinha, who has scored 12 goals and assisted 5 others this season, has been affected by some injuries that reduced his appearances, yet he still poses a significant offensive threat. He has scored his goals in the Spanish League in eight matches, as well as in the Spanish Super Cup during the semi-final and final matches, but he has not yet scored in the Champions League this season.
The Brazilian international has participated in 20 out of 32 official matches with Barcelona, while he played in only 4 out of 7 Champions League matches. His absence from some European matches due to a thigh injury prevented him from participating in clashes with Paris Saint-Germain, Olympiacos, and Club Brugge, bringing his total playtime without scoring to 274 minutes, something he seeks to change against Copenhagen.
Raphinha was the top scorer of last season's Champions League with 13 goals, tied with Borussia Dortmund's player Geraci, scoring his goals in 9 out of the 13 matches, with an average of a goal every 94 minutes. He also scored against teams such as Bayern Munich, Young Boys, Red Star, Borussia Dortmund, Benfica, and Inter Milan, reflecting his great scoring power.
