Raphinha Matches a Messi Record, but Cristiano Ronaldo Still Leads Him in La Liga

Raphinha scored twice in the first half against Deportivo Alavés on October 31, 2026, in La Liga’s 11th round. Barcelona, looking to recover from defeats to Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, won 6-1 at Spotify Camp Nou. His 15 goals after 11 league games match Lionel Messi’s tally at the same stage of the 2012-13 season. Cristiano Ronaldo still holds the record for the past five decades, with 18 goals after 11 matches in 2014-15.
