Raphinha Matches Cristiano Ronaldo's Historic Champions League Record

FC Barcelona winger Raphinha has equalled one of the UEFA Champions League's most iconic records, matching Cristiano Ronaldo’s tally of 21 goal contributions in a single UCL campaign.

The Brazilian struck late in the semi-final second leg against Inter Milan, a thrilling 4-3 defeat that saw the Catalan giants fall just short of a place in the final. Despite the heartbreak, Raphinha’s individual brilliance continues to shine. His goal took his personal tally in the 2024/25 Champions League season to 13 goals and 8 assists in just 12 matches.

That stat line mirrors the incredible mark set by Ronaldo during Real Madrid’s legendary 2013/14 campaign, when the Portuguese superstar scored 17 goals and registered 4 assists to lead Los Blancos to La Décima. Ronaldo capped that season by scoring in the final against Atlético Madrid.

Under new head coach Hansi Flick, Raphinha has found a new gear. With 31 goals and 25 assists across all competitions this season, he’s become one of the most productive wide players in Europe. The updated Champions League format — with two additional group stage fixtures — has also given him more room to break records.

But the job isn’t done. Barcelona face Real Madrid in a pivotal La Liga clash this weekend. With the title race heating up and every point crucial, all eyes will again be on Raphinha to deliver in one of world football’s biggest fixtures.
