Barcelona finished the first month of the new La Liga seson in extraordinary fashion thanks to a 7-0 win over newly-promoted Valladolid on Saturday, and the star of the show was undoubtedly Raphinha.
The Brazilian scored a hat-trick and added two assists in the match, and continued his incredible run of form in the early stages of Hansi Flick’s time in charge. After hearing plenty of criticism from Barça fans and skeptics, Raphinha is playing his best football as a Blaugrana and showing he was right to reject offers to leave in the summer and stick around to prove his worth at the club.
