A leading member of the attacking ranks at Barcelona took his place as the only member of an exclusive club across all of La Liga this season.
The player in question? Raphinha.
Wide-man Raphinha, for his part, is of course fresh off nothing short of a spectacular individual campaign.
At last looking fully at home in the colours of Barcelona, the former Leeds United man exploded to the tune of a head-turning 34 goals and 25 assists across all competitions.
So impressive has Raphinha’s season been, in fact, that the Brazilian international is considered as being among the frontrunners for the next Ballon d’Or.
Looking at La Liga alone, he managed to rack up 29 direct goal contributions, by way of 18 goals and 11 assists.
And such figures, as alluded to above, place the 28-year-old in an altogether exclusive club.
As per statistician Pedro Martin, Raphinha is the only player to have reached double digits in both goals and assists in Spain’s top-flight in 2024/25.
