Incredible stats of Barcelona forward from his perfect performance against Peru

On Tuesday, Brazil delivered a stunning performance against Peru, winning decisively with a score of 4-0. The standout player of the match was Raphinha, the Barcelona winger, who scored two goals from the penalty spot. 

His contributions were not limited to just scoring; he also showcased his skills by hitting the crossbar once during the game. 

Raphinha’s current form reflects a remarkable period in his career. He is showing brilliant determination and joy in his play, which has significantly changed under Hansi Flick. 

This change in approach has revitalised his game and elevated his impact on the pitch. Raphinha played a crucial role in breaking the deadlock in what had been a challenging match for Brazil. 

Despite facing a well-organised Peruvian defence that packed players in their half, Brazil struggled to create scoring opportunities initially. However, Raphinha managed to turn the tide, injecting energy and creativity into the team’s performance.

In total, Raphinha played for 78 minutes and had 40 touches of the ball, taking four shots in total, three of which were on target. 

While he had one shot that missed the goal, his efficiency was evident as he successfully created three opportunities, with two of those being particularly dangerous. 

He also contributed to the build-up play with five passes into the final third and completed 19 out of 26 passes overall, giving him a completion rate of 73%. 

Raphinha’s ability to deliver accurate long passes was highlighted, as he completed one out of one attempt, achieving a perfect record in that area. 

Additionally, he executed three successful crosses out of six attempts. Although he made one mistake and lost possession 12 times, these did not overshadow his contributions to the match. 

He made three recoveries, showcasing his work rate and commitment to the team’s defensive efforts. 

Overall, Raphinha’s performance was instrumental in Brazil’s victory and reinforced his growing importance to the squad as he continues to thrive in his current form.
