What a season it’s been for Raphinha – a campaign that will go down in the history books not just for the numbers, but for the impact, consistency, and brilliance he delivered week in, week out.
The electrifying Brazilian winger played an astonishing 64 matches across all competitions, representing both FC Barcelona and the Brazilian national team. And in those appearances, he lit up the pitch with an output that left fans, pundits, and opponents in awe:
38 Goals Scoring almost every other game, Raphinha showed he’s not just a provider but a lethal finisher. His goals came in all competitions: league clashes, cup finals, and high-pressure Champions League showdowns.
23 Assists Beyond his goal-scoring prowess, Raphinha continued to serve as a creative engine, linking up brilliantly with teammates like Lewandowski, Yamal, and Pedri to unlock defences with vision and precision.
61 Goal Contributions in 64 Games – That’s nearly a goal or assist every single match, an elite-level consistency few players in world football can match. Every time Raphinha stepped on the pitch, you could expect something special to happen.
But this wasn’t just a season of impressive stats — it was a season filled with silverware and recognition, both individual and collective:
La Liga Champion – Raphinha was a cornerstone of Barcelona’s triumphant domestic campaign. His goals in crucial league matches, including multiple Clásico contributions against Real Madrid, helped Barça reclaim the league crown.
Copa del Rey Winner – In the Spanish Cup, Raphinha rose to the occasion with decisive moments, showing his clutch mentality and helping lead his team to yet another title.
Spanish Super Cup Winner – In the mid-season showdown in Saudi Arabia, he was once again pivotal, bringing intensity and flair to the title-deciding matches.
La Liga Player of the Season – Crowned the best player in Spain’s top flight, Raphinha’s dominance was officially recognized. He outshone stars across the league with his blend of skill, explosiveness, and end product.
UEFA Champions League Golden Boot Winner – Perhaps his most impressive individual accolade, Raphinha ended the UCL season as the top scorer in Europe. His goals against clubs like Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund proved that he belongs at the very peak of European football.
A Message to the World: Raphinha Has Arrived
From silky dribbles to thundering strikes, from selfless assists to leading his team to glory, Raphinha’s 2024/25 campaign was a masterclass in elite football. He’s no longer just a fan favorite — he’s a world-class force, and one of the game’s most devastating wide men.
As Brazil gears up for major tournaments ahead, and Barça continues to chase more trophies, there’s no doubt: Raphinha is in the form of his life, and the best may still be yet to come.
What. A. Season
