Raphinha Matches Ronaldo’s Champions League Record with 21 Goal Contributions
Barcelona winger Raphinha has matched Cristiano Ronaldo’s Champions League record after a late goal against Inter Milan in the semi-final.
The Brazilian now shares the record for the most goal involvements in a single Champions League campaign with Ronaldo. Raphinha thought he had secured a dramatic 87th-minute winner as Barcelona led 3-2, having come back from two goals down. However, Inter’s Francesco Acerbi equalized in the 90th minute, and Davide Fratessi’s extra-time goal sealed the win for the Italians.
Raphinha exits the 2024-25 tournament with 21 goal contributions, a tally that ties him with Ronaldo, who set the previous benchmark during Real Madrid’s 2013-14 campaign. That season, Ronaldo registered 17 goals and four assists, helping Madrid to a 4-1 victory over Atletico Madrid in the final to secure ‘La Decima.’
Captain of the Morocco national team, Achraf Hakimi, has shared his thoughts on the controversial topic surrounding AFCON 2025.
It can be noted that the team was accused of taking towels belonging to opposition goalkeepers during matches, which sparked criticism from fans and observers, with many calling for consequences.
Hakimi expressed his disappointment over the situation, stating “I don’t feel proud about the image we gave off with the towels. Even though that happened, the team did well in the competition. We showed respect for our opponents in the tournament.”
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
