🥇 Most assists: 7
🥇 Most shot creating actions: 106
🥇 Most key passes: 52
Raphinha’s debut season for Barca has been spectacular. You know what makes it even more impressive?
A lot of the time, Raphinha has been forced to play a role that doesn’t suit him. With time, Xavi gave him more freedom. However, to create balance, we have often isolated our right winger (no support from a right back) to give Balde full freedom on the other side.
This suits a player like Dembele, who has pace, acceleration and superb dribbling abilities to create danger. Raphinha on the other hand likes to come inside and combine. A highly intelligent player.
Naturally, he needed time to adapt. In his first 10 games, he only registered 2 goal contributions. From there, he didn’t look back. Raphinha stepped up, and he often did so in moments of need. A proper match winner.
Against Osasuna, Barca were forced to play with 10 men after Lewandowski was sent off. Raphinha came on in the 78th minute, and scored the winner 10 minutes later after a brilliant header.
Raphinha was also given 33 minutes vs Valencia, and assisted Lewandowski’s winner in the 94th minute.
A perfectly weighted pass from Raphinha gave Pedri a tapin to win against Getafe. There is more…
• One goal & one assist in Barca’s 3-0 win vs Sevilla.
• Back to back goals which gave Barca 1-0 wins against Valencia and Athletic Bilbao.
• Assisted the winner vs Atletico Madrid.
Give him time, give him a proper role, and we got a hardworking player who decides games. Never stops trying.
