Raphinha sets records with FC Barcelona

Raphinha has continued to impress with FC Barcelona since the start of the season, having recorded notable figures during the first five official matches of the team under the management of Hans Flick.

Raphinha has scored 8 goals in his first five matches, making him the second-highest scorer at this stage in FC Barcelona's history, behind Kutchis who netted 9 goals in the 1958/1959 season, according to data from Oriol Jové.

Raphinha has become the first player at FC Barcelona to score in the first five matches since Luis Suárez in the 1958/1959 season, after Flick relied on him in the false nine position.

Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" also highlighted Raphinha's entry into the top five goal scorers in FC Barcelona's history in the UEFA Champions League, after he raised his tally to 21 goals, behind Lionel Messi "126", Luis Suárez and Rivaldo "25 each", and Robert Lewandowski "23".

After winning the Man of the Match award, Raphinha spoke about the Ballon d'Or: "I don't talk about that, I talk about Barcelona, we are having a great season."
