"It was a special game for the Brazilian international, whose return to full fitness has served as a boon for Barcelona, immediately improving their results. Now, Raphinha has etched his name in Barcelona record books by equalling the record held by none other than Johan Cruyff. Raphinha equals Cruyff's record Indeed, Raphinha has officially caught up with Johan Cruyff in the list of top scorers in Barça history, reaching 43rd place in the all-time rankings."
"Both Raphinha and the Dutch legend now sit on 60 goals in a Blaugrana shirt. However, the Brazilian's efficiency is notably superior. While Cruyff required 180 games to reach this milestone, the current Barcelona number 11 has achieved it in just 157 matches. Raphinha has already netted 6 goals this season. If he manages to replicate his stunning form from last season, where he scored 34 goals, he is projected to make a massive leap in the historical standings."
"A similar tally would take him to 88 goals, placing him 26th on the list, level with Ronald Koeman and surpassing icons like Xavi Hernandez (85), Luis Suarez (80), and Javier Saviola (72). Raphinha's 60 goals have come with flair. His tally includes two hat-tricks - against Valladolid in August 2024 and Bayern Munich in October 2024 - and ten braces."
