Raphinha hat-trick restores Barcelona forward’s lead in Spanish league scoring chart

Raphinha reclaimed top spot in the Spanish league’s scoring standings just 24 hours after Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe moved into first place.

The Barcelona forward scored three goals against Racing Santander in Wednesday evening’s sixth-round fixture, taking his league tally for the season to nine.

That leaves Raphinha two goals clear of Mbappe, who scored his seventh league goal against Elche on Tuesday evening.

Raphinha’s goals have come in six matches. He scored twice against Elche and twice against Rayo Vallecano, while also finding the net once against Athletic Bilbao and once against Valencia.

He did not score against Levante.
