UCL: Raphinha breaks Lionel Messi’s record in Barça’s 3-3 draw with Inter Milan

Published on May 01, 2025 at 07:06 AM

Barcelona forward, Raphinha, has broken a club record previously held by former club’s captain, Lionel Messi.

He broke the record in Barcelona’s UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg against Inter Milan on Wednesday night.

Raphina scored one and provided an assist in La Blaugrana’s 3-3 draw with the Serie A giants at the Olympic Stadium in Catalunya.

The Brazilian winger was key to his side rallying back from a 2-0 deficit to play a 3-3 draw in front of their fans.

The 28-year-old assisted his side’s second goal in the 38th minute with a cushioned header into the path of Ferran Torres, who guided the ball home from close range.

It was Raphinha’s 8th assist in the competition this season, to go with 12 goals in 13 appearances.

His tally of 20 goal contributions has taken him past club legend Lionel Messi’s club record of 19 goal contributions in a single Champions League campaign achieved back in the 2011-12 season.

The Brazil International was unlucky not to extend his record in the second half with a thunderbolt from outside the area which cannoned off the crossbar.

Raphinha has been in sensational form for Barcelona this season, registering 51 goal contributions in 51 appearances across all competitions.
