Brazilian forward of Barcelona Rafinha became the main hero of the winning match against Seville (3:1), achieving a perfect hat-trick. The attacker scored a goal in the first half and scored two goals against the other, delivering accurate strikes with his head, right and left feet.

Over the past 20 years, Rafinha has become the only other leader of the Catalan club, which managed to score a perfect hat-trick at La Lisa - before the new ceremony, Luis Suarez had a 2015 performance in the match against Cordoba. This performance allowed the Brazilian to go down in the history of the club: he became the first Barcelona player, scoring 12 goals in seven starting matches of the Spanish championship.

In this way, Rafinha broke Lionel Messi's previous club record (11 goals in the 2017/18 season). In the 21st century, La Lisa's most productive start was demonstrated by Cristiano Ronaldo (13 goals at the start of the 2014/15 season). The absolute record for the Spanish championship dates back to the 1943/44 season - Esteban Echevarria from Real Oviedo scored 14 times in the first seven rounds.

Rafinha's phenomenal performance has led to the fact that his individual goalscoring record now exceeds the number of goals scored among all La Liga teams. Only three clubs scored more for the Brazilian (12 goals): Barcelona (31), Real Madrid (17) and Atletico (14).

At the top of the La Liga scorers, Rafinha created a comfortable win at 5 goals. He has 12 goals, while his closest players - Lamin Yamal, Kylian Mbappe and Sergio Camello - have 7 effective shots each.. The highlight of the current season is the Brazilian, who took off his captain's armband before the start of the campaign, playing 8 matches in all tournaments, scoring 14 goals and 3 assists.

Guess what, it became known earlier that Rafinha and Barcelona agreed to a new contract until 2030.
