Barcelona have endured a difficult few days, suffering consecutive defeats against PSG in the Champions League and Real Madrid in La Liga. However, despite the disappointing results, Hansi Flick has one major positive to take from his team’s performances.
Captain Raphinha has delivered remarkable numbers in front of goal, continuing his evolution as Barcelona’s number nine. The Brazilian captain has now matched a goalscoring record set by Lionel Messi during one of his most prolific seasons at Barcelona.
Matching any stat set by the Argentine legend underlines how impressive his start to the 2026-27 campaign has been. With his equaliser against Real Madrid on Sunday, Raphinha reached 13 La Liga goals in just nine appearances this season.
