Raphinha (Barcelona and Brazil)
—————————
Why’s he in the top 10?
The Brazilian winger has led La Liga players in goal contributions across all club competitions with 28 goals and 20 assists in his 45 games.
This week
Raphinha had to settle for a half-hour appearance off the bench in a 1-1 home draw against Real Betis last Saturday, with his minutes being carefully managed since he returned from international duty in South America last month. Restored to the starting XI for the visit of Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of a Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday, Raphinha scored the game’s opening goal from about two inches out before assisting both Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal as Barcelona won 4-0.
Up next
Barcelona return to domestic action on Saturday away at Leganes with revenge on their mind after losing 1-0 to the relegation-threatened side in December and with Raphinha on the hunt for just his third La Liga goal of 2025. That is followed by a visit to Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday for what looks like a dead-rubber of a second leg.
