Raphinha is once again showing us why he is such a special player. In his two seasons since joining the club from Leeds United, he has scored at least ten goals both times and also hit double figures for assists. Last season he scored 10 and created 12. This season, in considerably fewer games (36 as opposed to 50) and with three still to play, he has already reached 10 goals and 11 assists.
Up with the MSN
Only four other players have made double-doubles at Barça in the last decade, namely Leo Messi, Luis Suárez, Neymar and Antoine Griezmann. Messi did in every season he played, Suárez in six, Neymar is two and Griezmann in one.
One assist every 171 minutes
The Brazilian averages out as providing one assist every 171.64 minutes. In Europe's big five leagues, only De Bruyne (Man City), Nico Williams (Athletic) and Pedro Neto (Wolves) can boast faster rates, although the latter's figure is based on far fewer actual appearances and hence is somewhat skewed.
Given Raphinha's form there is every chance that he'll add to those figures before the season is out. He still has games against Almería, Rayo and Sevilla to come.
