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.’
Pep Guardiola reveals why he left Manchester City. It can be recalled that the manager recently left Man City, and now he has revealed his reason during an interaction with reporters.
He shared that he is running out of energy.
“I share the same feeling as when Jurgen Klopp left, I am running out of energy. I feel like I will not have the energy that is required for a game every three days, to fight for titles, being in front of the players every day.”
He then added that he believes the club should have a new manager with fresh energy to direct the team.
Football legend Paul Merson praises Mikel Arteta on his win this season and shares good luck to him in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain.
He praised the manager, saying that Arteta really pushed the club to the best and the win is well deserved.
“Congratulations to Arsenal once again. It is a well-deserved win after 22 years. We can’t wait to see the 30th of May and see if it’s a double win.”
Luis Enrique, manager of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), praised Arsenal F.C. and called them the best team in the world after their win in the Premier League.
He shared: “I believe they deserve to win the league — they have had an outstanding season.
“We have already faced this Arsenal team, so we are aware of their capabilities.
“Without the ball, they are the best team in the world, and with it, they can score frequently. This creates a remarkable combination for them.”
