@FootynewsTwelve goals in seven matches. Three of them against Sevilla in the Spanish League. Three more in the very next Barcelona outing. Raphinha is doing something that even his biggest fans probably didn't see coming, and the numbers alone should be enough to make anyone sit up. But here's the thing: he isn't even playing as a nominal striker. He had to reshape his game after Lewandowski and Ferran Torres both left. That adaptation is the part people keep glossing over. What he's producing right now is the best start of his career, full stop. Records are falling. The Brazilian is in his prime, and we're watching it happen in real time. Yet somehow the perspective isn't there. It's a damn abuse, honestly. What a damn madness you did, Raphinha.
