Raphinha matches Ronaldinho’s Barcelona goal tally with Aston Villa double

Barcelona captain Raphinha has equalled Ronaldinho’s total of 94 goals for the club after scoring twice in the 3-0 Champions League victory over Aston Villa.

The Brazil forward struck in the 52nd and 64th minutes to reach the milestone across all competitions.

Raphinha’s double means he now has the same number of Barcelona goals as his compatriot and former team-mate Ronaldinho, who represented the Catalan club from 2003 to 2008.

According to Barca Universal, Raphinha needed 190 appearances to score his 94 goals for Barcelona. Ronaldinho reached the same total in 207 matches.
