With 12 points off the first four fixtures, the club currently finds themselves at the top of the points table.

Even though in the attacking position, stars like Lewandowski, Yamal, and Olmo have been significantly effective, clearly, Raphinha has outshone them all so far. In fact, overall as well, the Brazilian star winger has been the best player for Hansi Flick's side this season. His winning the August La Liga Player of the Month award was a testament to his performances.

Recently, Raphinha addressed the media, answering several questions about his first hat trick, personal goals, and more. In the first 3 matchdays, the wing star wasn't able to get his name on the scoresheet despite being the club's best performer. However, it all changed as he struck a dominating hattrick, the first of his career, against Valladolid.

Raphinha exclaimed,

""The truth is that I was very happy with the hat trick; it was my first hat trick in my career. I really like scoring, and I like making assists, but in my opinion, the most important thing is that the team wins, regardless of what we do as players individually.""

Having six goal contributions to his name in just four fixtures into the season, the Brazilian wing forward has been a menace to his opponents. Even though Raphinha has been one of the consistent performers for the Catalan club since he arrived in 2022, recently, he has been hitting his topmost level.

Speaking on the matter, Raphinha said,

""I knew that if I wanted to play and be the best version of myself, I had to adapt as quickly as possible to the idea of Mr. Flick.""

Overall, it has been going brilliant for FC Barcelona so far. Now that the international break is over, Hansi Flick and co. would want to continue in high spirits, maintaining the same momentum they had before the break. Witnessing the club's form, Culers would have significant hopes for the club this season, which has looked like the best team in recent times.
