The Build-Up to Raphinha’s Goal
The goal came in the 36th minute of the match, thanks to some excellent teamwork. Fermín López stole the ball in midfield and, after skillfully bypassing Eduardo Camavinga, played a precise pass to Raphinha. With a clear run on goal, the Brazilian winger made the most of Real Madrid’s defensive disorganization.
As Real Madrid’s defense was caught off guard, with Asensio out of position and Aurélien Tchouaméni unable to recover in time, Raphinha charged into the box. He cleverly took a low, driven shot that slipped through Tchouaméni’s legs and found the bottom-left corner of Thibaut Courtois’ goal. The strike was both precise and powerful, giving Barcelona a crucial 1-0 lead.
