In a La Liga match against Sevilla, Barcelona aimed for their seventh consecutive victory to defend their league title. However, they faced an early setback when Youssouf Fofana gave Sevilla the lead. Raphinha quickly responded, skillfully breaking through the Sevilla defense and finishing with precision into the far corner.
According to statisticians at Opta, Raphinha is now the third player to score 10 goals in the first seven games of a La Liga season in the 21st century. The only other players to achieve this are Lionel Messi, who did it in both the 2011/12 and 2017/18 seasons, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who reached 13 goals in the 2014/15 season.
