Raphinha's stunning season has continued tonight with his latest strike giving Barcelona the lead against Borussia Dortmund.
It also showed that he is perhaps determined to finish the campaign as the Champions League top scorer.
The Brazilian poked the ball home as it was rolling into the net, taking away Pau Cubarsí's first goal in the competition and getting a 12th for the season for himself, two clear of anyone else, and three of his teammate Robert Lewandowski.
Some may say selfish, but others will say it is the sign of a predatory finisher, and it's unlikely anyone will care given how brilliant Raphinha has been. He now has 28 goals and 20 assists in all competitions.
17 of his 48 goal contributions have come in Europe, which is just two less than Lionel Messi's record tally in the 2011-12 campaign.
You wouldn't bet against him making it to 20, would you?
