Boasting 12 goals in just seven matches, Raphinha is enjoying a historic start and has firmly established himself among the frontrunners for the Golden Boot.
Raphinha is enjoying a sensational start to the campaign with FC Barcelona. The Brazilian forward has already registered 12 goals in LaLiga, supplemented by a brace against Feyenoord in the Champions League—returns that establish him among the most prolific marksmen across Europe’s elite leagues.
In the battle for the Golden Boot, Raphinha has accumulated 24 points, courtesy of the two-point coefficient awarded to goals scored in Europe’s top five divisions. According to ‘Mundo Deportivo’, the Barca attacker currently occupies second place, trailing only Ede Okolo, who has netted 25 times in Latvia.
The Brazilian has also equalled historic milestones for Barcelona and, should he sustain this relentless pace, could conclude the season with staggering figures. The all-time benchmark for the Golden Boot remains with Lionel Messi, who racked up an astonishing 50 goals in the league during the 2011/12 season.
