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.’
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
