Rampant Raphinha nets two goals as Barcelona rout Feyenoord

Raphinha led the match-winning effort as Barça defeated Feyenoord. The Brazilian striker, who is considered the ninth man at Barcelona, feels so important since being named captain by Flick that he disregards matches and competitions. He scored six goals in the La Liga and was the top scorer in the Champions League against Feyenoord in his debut.

Today, Raphinha is the flagbearer for Barcelona, as the team both attacks and defends, runs and stops, scores and finishes plays as dictated by his determination. Feyenoord was a mere spectator to the game orchestrated and resolved by Raphinha's ambition, which is contagious for those wearing the Barcelona shirt. He left the field with the contest resolved and passed the captain's armband to Lamine.

The full-back responded with a penalty goal and shortly after, Gabriel Jesus also began his stellar performance with a goal of his own, putting up a classic five-goal score in the Barcelona goal to satisfy the Camp Nou crowd.
