Brazilian star Raphinha put on a dazzling show as Barcelona dominated Borussia Dortmund 4-0, tying Lionel Messi’s club record of 19 goal involvements in a single Champions League season.
Raphinha was everywhere—scoring one and assisting two, matching Messi’s legendary 2011-12 stat, and putting Barça in full control of their quarter-final tie.
The action kicked off with Barça charging hard. Dortmund keeper Gregor Kobel had his hands full early, but Raphinha broke the deadlock in the 25th minute with a scrappy finish off a chaotic free-kick.
Robert Lewandowski added two more after halftime—including his 99th goal for Barcelona—before 16-year-old Lamine Yamal coolly buried a fourth, assisted by (you guessed it) Raphinha.
With the second leg set for April 15 in Germany, Barcelona are one foot in the semis—and Raphinha just stepped into elite history alongside Messi.
