Scoring in First 5 Matches of the Season Across Two Competitions, Raphinha Becomes First Player in Barca History

After scoring a goal in the Champions League match against Feyenoord, Raphinha became the first player in Barcelona history to score in the first five matches of a season while finding the net in two different competitions.

Raphinha has scored in every match he has played for Barcelona so far this season. This remarkable scoring streak has written him into Barcelona's history: he became the first player in the club's history to score in two different competitions during the first five matches of a season.

Raphinha had already scored in each of the first four rounds of La Liga. This record made him the sixth player in Barcelona history to score in every one of the first four league matches. Against Feyenoord, Raphinha scored again, extending the run to five consecutive matches across two different competitions and putting his name into the history books.

Looking only at La Liga, only two players in history have scored in each of the first five league rounds. Cesar Rodriguez achieved this feat in the 1950-51 season, scoring eight goals in the first five league matches and making a remarkable start. Decades later, Zlatan Ibrahimovic matched the achievement in the 2009-10 season.

The Brazilian international has scored seven goals so far this season, becoming one of Barcelona's most important attacking threats.
