Raphinha matched a remarkable Luis Suárez benchmark in Barcelona 7-0 Real Valladolid | OneFootball

Barcelona star Raphinha secured for himself a piece of club history, owing to his exploits in the Blaugrana’s meeting with Real Valladolid.

Wide-man Raphinha, of course, is fresh off a night to remember on Saturday.

Rewarded for a stellar opening to the campaign with a starting berth in Barcelona’s La Liga meeting with the aforementioned Valladolid, the Brazilian proved himself an unstoppable force.

En route to an eventual 7-0 rout, Raphinha notched a hat-trick, as well as an assist.

And, as alluded to above, such remarkable endeavours have allowed the former Leeds United man to etch his name into the history books.

As per statisticians StatMuse, only two players have managed to rack up three goals, an assist, three chances created, and five shots on target in a single La Liga fixture for Barcelona over the last ten seasons.
