Raphinha scored in LaLiga again for the first time since matchday 4. The Brazilian made it 1-1 on the scoreboard against Atlético with a notable finish against Oblak, after a masterful pass from Pedri
FC Barcelona reacted immediately to Álex Baena's goal with a goal from Raphinha six minutes after the partial 0-1 in favor of Atlético de Madrid. In the 26th minute, the Brazilian took advantage of a through ball from Pedri González to anticipate the 'rojiblanca' defense and, facing Oblak's exit, left the Slovenian on the ground to score into an empty net.
For Raphinha, it was his first goal since his brace against Valencia in matchday 4 (6-0) and his fourth of the 2025/26 season, where he also has 3 assists. The Porto Alegre native missed six league games and three Champions League matches due to injury, but he had already shown, against Alavés (3-1), that he was close to returning to his best form
The '11' was the best in the first half, with an assist and direct participation in the first Barça goal. Although he is not yet physically fit to play 90 minutes, the 28-year-old forward makes a difference every time he approaches the opponent's box.
Raphinha celebrated a goal in LaLiga after 79 days without scoring
Raphinha's last goals were on September 14, with Barça playing at home at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. 79 days later, the Brazilian once again found the back of the net in his 155th official match for the Blaugrana shirt.
So far, the winger has scored 58 goals and provided 52 assists as a Culer. At Camp Nou, his last goal came on April 29, 2023, against Betis (4-0). In that match, where Lamine Yamal made his official debut for Barça, he also provided an assist.
Last season, Rapha scored 18 goals in the League, although he went eight matchdays without scoring (between the 24th and 31st). This season, his drought extended to 9 fixtures, though he was absent due to injury for six of them.
