Raphinha Achieves Positive Figures in El Clásico

The Brazilian winger Raphinha continues to achieve impressive statistics in El Clasico matches, having surpassed the win rates of former Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, according to the newspaper "Mundo Deportivo."

According to the data, Raphinha has played 12 El Clasico matches with Barcelona since joining in the summer of 2022, achieving 8 victories against 4 defeats, out of 14 encounters the team has had during that period, with the player participating in 12 of them. His victories are distributed as 3 in La Liga, 3 in the Spanish Super Cup, and 2 in the Copa del Rey.

Raphinha has also delivered a strong scoring performance in recent encounters, having scored 7 goals in the last 5 Clasicos, with 3 goals in La Liga and 4 goals in the Spanish Super Cup, underscoring his impactful presence in major matches against Real Madrid.

In contrast, Cristiano Ronaldo played 30 El Clásico matches during his time with Real Madrid, achieving only 8 victories, which is the same number of wins as Raphinha, along with 8 draws and 14 losses. According to these figures, Raphinha's win rate stands at 60%, compared to only 20% for Ronaldo.

Coach Hans Flick is considering keeping him on the bench and bringing him on in the second half, despite the player affirming his readiness to start. This match could be crucial in the Spanish league race.
