Barcelona’s Brazilian star Rafinha Diaz has outperformed Europe’s top scorers, including Egypt’s Mohamed Salah and Poland’s Robert Lewandowski, by achieving a remarkable feat that no other player in the major leagues has reached in the 2024-25 season.
The Brazilian winger has continued to impress with Barcelona, becoming one of the team’s key players due to his crucial offensive contributions. Since joining the Catalan club from Leeds United, Rafinha has shown his exceptional technical skills, making him an essential part of coach Xavi Hernandez’s and later Hansi Flick’s squads.
With his speed and individual talent, Rafinha has made a big impact in important matches, contributing directly to Barcelona’s results both in domestic competitions and in Europe.
Despite the strong competition in Barcelona’s attacking line-up, Rafinha has made a significant mark this season. He has combined scoring goals and creating assists in a balanced way. He has scored in every tournament he has played in and has also provided assists, making him one of the most influential players in Europe this season.
Rafinha outperforms Mohamed Salah and Lewandowski in a unique achievement with Barcelona
Rafinha has achieved something no other player in Europe’s top leagues has done this season. He is the only player among the top strikers in the major European leagues to score and create goals in double figures across all four competitions he has played in with Barcelona: La Liga, the Champions League, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup.
Even Mohamed Salah, the top scorer in the English Premier League and one of Europe’s biggest stars, has not been able to match this. Salah did not create any goals in the FA Cup with Liverpool.
As for Lewandowski, Barcelona’s top scorer, he did not record any assists in the Champions League or the Copa del Rey. While Kylian Mbappe scored in five competitions, he did not create goals in the domestic cups or the European Super Cup.
Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, who plays for Manchester City, has relied more on scoring and has only provided assists in the Premier League, according to a report by the Catalan newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” today, Friday.
With this outstanding performance, Rafinha continues to prove himself as a star in world football, showing his value as one of Europe’s best wingers and surpassing even the most famous names, including Mohamed Salah.
