Barcelona player, Raphinha, has matched Cristiano Ronaldo’s record in El Clasico matches after Barcelona beat Real Madrid during the week.
Ronaldo had a great career at Real Madrid, but his main challenge was playing in the El Clasico games against Barcelona.
The Portuguese star had a tough time facing the Catalan team, leading to a bad performance.
The Real Madrid legend won only eight times in his 30 El Clasico matches, and now Raphinha has achieved the same record.
The Brazilian winger has eight wins in just 12 games against Los Blancos, and he has also scored seven goals and provided three assists.
The former Leeds United player, who joined Barcelona for €58 million in 2022 after turning down offers from Chelsea and Arsenal, has been playing really well against their main rivals.
He has scored five goals and given one assist in the last four games between the two teams, including two goals in the Spanish Super Cup final earlier this week in Saudi Arabia.
In contrast, Ronaldo lost 14 times in El Clasico matches, but still scored 18 goals for Real Madrid.
He made only three assists, but could not score a hat-trick even though he scored two goals twice against the Catalan team.
Raphinha will get a chance to break the record later this season when the two teams play against each other in La Liga.
Both teams will play against each other towards the end of the season.
The match will take place at Camp Nou in May.
