That actually is legendary. Messi was at like 55 in his prime, so 70 for a "regular" world class player like Raphinha is insane.So far this season he produced a goal or an assist for every 70 mins played. Does anyone beat that in our side? Probably not.

Funny to mention tough games considering this guy's numbers in CL and Clasicos.
We've ran circles around this a lot, but you don't think he is our most important player? For me he is no1 and Yamal close 2nd. Pedri 3rd.
When Yamal will improve his shooting and will become a more reliable scorer he will be 1st, despite the lower effort and workrate.
He has no goals/assists in CL this season so far.
So not all that funny.
Fact remains he has missed a lot of the toughest games this season more so than any other attacking player bar Roony.
Well, he played AM and Madrid. Toughest opponents domestically. Instrumental in both wins. Ah, Villareal also. Played vs 3 out of the best 4 teams in Spain last season. Instrumental vs Villareal, AM, Madrid wins.
So did the others while also some playing away in Bernabeu, home to PSG and away to Chelsea while playing more of the teams currently in top half of table.
These are the CL teams of Spain.Yeah, games we lost and played like shite in. Doesn't get higher difficulty in Spain atm than Madrid, Villareal, Atletico and Bilbao.
Wouldnt say Barca were shite in them and more than Raphinha missing but fact remains he has missed a lot of the tougher games this season in both CL and league.
That is a fact.
Bilbao.. another league game he largely missed.
Scored his pen v Villareal but wasnt amazing.
