Brazil's new 9️⃣? Raphinha bags another hat-trick for Barcelona

Brazil's new 9️⃣? Raphinha bags another hat-trick for Barcelona It’s not “old” news. Raphinha bagged ANOTHER hat-trick in a Barcelona shirt. This time, the feat came this Saturday (19). He scored ALL of Barça’s goals in the 3-1 win over Sevilla right at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. One with his right foot, one with his head, and another with his left. He now has TWELVE in La Liga after just seven matchdays — he’s the outright top scorer — and FOURTEEN this season. Could he be the No. 9 the Brazil national team has been looking for so badly?  Hello, Ancelotti! Carlo Ancelotti is expected to run several tests during the upcoming “Super FIFA window.” Could one of them be using Raphinha as a “9”? Endrick and Pedro are the Barca No. 11’s “rivals” after João Pedro’s withdrawal. Raphinha’s latest show started in the 22nd minute with a right-footed finish after being picked out by Christensen. It made it 1-1, since Fofana had put Sevilla ahead (19').  The second, a header, came in the second half after Yamal beat two defenders (52'). The third came after another pass from Lamine and a perfect left-footed finish (69').  Raphinha is still FLYING as Barça’s “9” at the start of the season.  Will Ancelotti make use of that with Brazil? Have your say! Only CR7 had a better start The 12 goals scored in his first seven La Liga matches have put Raphinha on a podium “reserved for a select few.” He has surpassed Messi’s best start: 11 goals in the 2017/2018 season. Only Cristiano Ronaldo, with 13 goals in 2014/15, did better.  Raphinha this season 🔥 Elche 0 x 5 Barcelona - Two goals and one assist Barcelona 2 x 0 Bilbao - One goal Barcelona 5 x 2 Rayo Vallecano - Two goals Valencia 0 x 5 Barcelona - One goal Barcelona 5 x 1 Feyenoord - Two goals Levante 2 x 4 Levante - Two assists Barcelona 7 x 2 Racing - Three goals  Sevilla 1 x 3 Barcelona - Three goals  Barça remain top and perfect Barça moved up to 21 points.

And this Sunday (20) brings the Madrid derby.  Sevilla, meanwhile, stay on 13. They are fifth for now.  This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
