Raphinha said goodbye to the Champions League as the top scorer with 13 goals. The Brazilian ratified his status as the top favorite for the 2025 Ballon d’Or. Find out why!<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona said goodbye to the Champions League with a dramatic defeat against Inter Milan (4-3)<\/a> in a match where Raphinha managed to reach the top of the tournament’s goalscoring charts. The ’11’ scored the partial 2-3 for Hansi Flick’s team in the 87th minute<\/strong>, a goal that seemed to seal the qualification of the Blaugrana team.<\/p>

The Brazilian received a pass from Pedri and, after an initial shot rejected by Yann Sommer, he took the rebound to blast the Swiss goalkeeper with a crossed shot. It was his 13th goal in this edition of the Champions League and his 16th in 26 appearances<\/strong> with the ‘cul\u00e9s’ in Europe’s top club competition, where he also has 15 assists.<\/p>

Unfortunately, goals from Francesco Acerbi and Davide Frattesi allowed Inter to advance to the final in extra time. For Raphinha, the 24\/25 season has allowed him to reach authentic Ballon d’Or records, with 32 goals and 23 assists<\/strong> in 53 matches.<\/p>

In addition to equaling Serhou Guirassy as the tournament’s top scorer, Raphinha became the second player capable of participating in 22 goals<\/strong> in the same edition of the Champions League. Previously, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 17 goals and 5 assists in 2013\/14 with Real Madrid.<\/p>

The Brazilian, however, closed the season with 13 goals and 9 assists<\/strong> in the 14 Champions League matches that Bar\u00e7a played this season. In the Catalan team, the record for most goal involvements in a Champions League was held by Leo Messi<\/strong> in 2011\/12 (14G\/5A). ‘La Pulga’, however, remains the player with the most goals in a season (14).<\/p>

And, as for the ‘Pichichi’, there is no doubt that his performance is more meritorious, since Guirassy, although he also scored 13 goals in 14 appearances, took advantage of playing in the ‘play-off’ against Sporting CP.<\/p>

Without those two matches, the Guinean would have finished the competition with 12 goals<\/strong>, one more than Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane. Further back is Lautaro Mart\u00ednez (9), who also added one more goal in the second leg of the ‘semi-finals’ against Bar\u00e7a, opening the scoring.<\/p>
