Barcelona winger Raphinha was one of the standout performers in Matchday 16 of La Liga against Osasuna, netting a brace. His second goal was particularly stunning, as the Brazilian unleashed a powerful long-range strike.
Details: According to Opta, this was Raphinha’s 10th goal from outside the penalty area in all competitions for Barcelona since the 2022/23 season. No other Barcelona player has scored more in this span—only Lamine Yamal has matched that tally.
After the match against Osasuna, Barcelona have pulled seven points clear of Real Madrid, but the Madrid side still have a game in hand. Tomorrow, December 14, at 21:00 Central European Time, Real will play away against Alavés.
Reminder: Barcelona secured their seventh consecutive La Liga victory by a margin of two or more goals for the first time since 2017.
