28-year-old Barcelona star tops El Clasico scoring chart for the 2024-25 season | OneFootball

FC Barcelona and Real Madrid faced off four times in the 2024-25 season, and Hansi Flick’s side continued to show its superiority over the Merengues this season as they got another victory in the last El Clásico, which ended in a 4-3 victory for the Blaugranes.

Eric Garcia opened the scoring for his side, while Lamine Yamal scored another goal to equalise the scores after Los Blancos had got an early 2-goal lead. The Brazilian winger Raphinha then scored two goals to ensure the three points for the Catalans.

Raphinha scores five goals against Real Madrid

As Mundo Deportivo has noted, these two goals mean that Raphinha has been the top scorer in El Clásicos this season, having scored 5 goals in total against Real Madrid.

Before his brace in the latest classic, the Brazilian had also scored another brace in the Spanish Super Cup final in Riyadh. Before that, he had scored one goal in the first league encounter between the two La Liga giants.

Yamal and Lewandowski follow the Brazilian

In total, the Blaugranes scored 16 goals against their arch-rivals this season, and conceded 7 in return. Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski follow Raphinha in this regard, as they both have scored 3 goals.

Other players like Alejandro Balde, Pedri, Ferran Torres, Eric Garcia, and Jules Kounde all also got on the scoresheet against Carlo Ancelotti’s side in these four matches.

But clearly, Raphinha has been the most influential player for Barcelona against Real Madrid, which goes on to showcase his overall importance for the Blaugrana team this season.

In total, the Brazilian has scored 33 goals this season. 13 of these goals came in the UEFA Champions League, which means he will be the joint top scorer in the European competition, along with Serhou Guirassy, unless Lautaro Martinez, who currently has 9 goals to his name, scores 5 goals in the final against Paris Saint Germain.
