Overview
- Raphinha has scored 15 goals in 11 LaLiga appearances this season, the highest total among players in Europe's five top leagues so far.
- He scored a brace against Deportivo Alavés at the Camp Nou that secured the win and extended his scoring streak.
- The run includes goals in seven consecutive matches, making him the first Barcelona player to do that since Lionel Messi.
- Those numbers come after he recovered from recent physical problems and already exceed the 13 LaLiga goals he scored in the entire previous season.
- His form has shifted him into contention for the Pichichi and other individual awards and turned him into Barcelona's on-pitch leader, a change that could shape the club's title chances and the race for LaLiga's top scorer.
