milestone! World Sports: Gottafe is Rafina s 150th game for Barcelona

This Sunday, Barcelona will play against Getafe at home, which is also the 150th game that Rafinha has played for Barcelona.

Rafinia made significant progress last season and became one of the most impressive players in recent years. He scored 34 goals and contributed 22 assists at the end of the season, a record that exceeded his combined two seasons (10 goals and 11 assists in the 2023/24 season, 10 goals and 12 assists in the 2022/23 season). He became an important leader under Flick, and his performance seems closer to the glory of last season in the five games of the new season.

Since joining Barcelona from Leeds United for 58 million euros in the summer of 2022, Rafinia has made 149 appearances for the team, including 50 games in the first season, 37 games in the second season, and 57 games in the third season, and 57 games in the third season, so far this season. A total of 57 goals were scored and 55 assists were contributed.

In the match against Getafe tonight, Rafinia is expected to usher in a milestone. At John Cruyff Stadium, he will complete his 150th game for Barcelona. Currently, he is the sixth Brazilian player with the most appearances in Barcelona history, second only to Evaristo (151 games). Although there is still a certain gap between Alves (408 games), Rivaldo (235 games), Ronaldinho (207 games), Adriano Correa (189 games) and Neymar (186 games), at the current pace, he will soon be able to catch up with some of them.

With his own efforts, Rafinia has won the love of fans and teammates. His fighting spirit and professional attitude have become a role model for young players, and his teammates have also recommended him as the captain and regarded him as the team's spiritual leader.
