Raphinha hat-trick sinks Sevilla as Barcelona win 3-1
Raphinha scored three and Lamine Yamal added two assists as Barcelona came from behind to beat Sevilla, keeping their perfect start to the season.
Barcelona came from behind away at Sevilla and won 3-1 in the seventh round of La Liga, with Raphinha scoring a hat-trick and Lamine Yamal supplying two assists.
He has netted 12 times in seven league games this season. Barcelona have won all eight matches they have played across competitions so far, with an aggregate score of 36-8.
Raphinha had already matched a mark set by Lionel Messi in 2017/18 after his previous hat-trick, against Racing, took him to nine goals in six games. He has now pushed that tally to 12 in seven. He said this week that he intends to sign a new contract and finish his career at the club, having led the La Liga scoring charts before this weekend's round.
