Raphinha Scores Consecutive Hat-Trick as Barcelona Beats Sevilla 3-1
Barcelona star Raphinha scored his second consecutive hat-trick, reaching 12 goals in seven matchdays and driving the Catalan club to a stellar start.
Raphinha continues to ignite the imagination. The Barcelona star celebrated another consecutive hat-trick, reaching 12 goals in just seven matchdays. Only two players in La Liga history have ever achieved this feat back in the 1940/41 season: Pruden for Atletico Madrid and Campanal for Sevilla.
Incredible Form and Historical Milestones
The Brazilian superstar is involved in 17 goals across all competitions this season already in September, while Lamine Yamal is involved in 14. The Catalans look unstoppable following a 3-1 victory over Sevilla that sends them into the international break with a perfect record.
"He is the best player in the world," gushed Spanish pundit Guillem Balague. "Everything he touches goes in right now. These numbers are simply ridiculous."
Unprecedented Goalscoring Pace
No other player in Europe's top five leagues comes close to 12 goals this season. Yamal, Kylian Mbappe, and Sergio Camello share second place with seven goals each. Meanwhile, the all-time La Liga record for goals after seven matchdays still belongs to Cristiano Ronaldo with 13 in the 2014/15 season.
