Raphinha has been one of the standout players for FC Barcelona this season under new manager Hansi Flick.
The Blaugrana have been playing attractive, attacking football with a host of chances created game after game, with the Brazilian winger contributing heavily to their attacking exploits from the left flank.
The 28-year-old has proven himself as both an able passer who finds teammates’ runs into space and a great finisher in crucial moments. His tally of 23 goals and 11 assists from 31 matches in all competitions speaks for itself.
Leading the way in chance creation
What’s more, Raphinha is also the player who has created the most chances this season across the top five European leagues (La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1).

The Barcelona captain has accumulated a total of 67 chances, four more than second-placed Cole Palmer of Chelsea. Following them are Villarreal’s Alex Baena with 59 chances, Tottenham’s Dejan Kulusevski with 58, and Junya Ito of Reims with 55.
While his contributions may not always be immediately visible to the naked eye, the statistics clearly show that his influence on the pitch remains unmatched in Europe.
Barcelona are currently enjoying a strong run under Hansi Flick. The Catalans have already breached the 100-goal mark this season and Raphinha, along with the likes of Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, and Pedri, has been crucial for them to achieve this.
The Brazilian is one of the few untouchables in the squad, and the statistics only serve to reinforce that decision.
