After an underwhelming performance with the Brazilian National Team at the World Cup, Raphinha<\/a> is off to a great start to the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n They remain perfect in La Liga<\/a>, with the No. 11 now alone at the top of the scoring charts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Yamal, also with two goals, and Gordon were the other standout performers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n New Catalan signing Gabriel Jesus watched it all in loco.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It was anything but easy. And it already \u201cstarted\u201d with the Madrid side stunning Bar\u00e7a<\/a> after just 12 minutes through Sergio Camello.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Raphinha struck for the first time in the 19th minute after a contribution from Xavi Espart, a La Masia product.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Lamine Yamal \u201cdefied\u201d logic by firing into C\u00e1rdenas\u2019 top-left corner shortly after (21′).\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Then came the second half and another Catalan goal after Lejeune frustrated Gordon\u2019s attempt by scoring an own goal (51′).\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But Camello brought the visitors \u201cback\u201d into the game in the 59th minute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Rayo kept pushing against a Bar\u00e7a<\/a> side that had \u201crelaxed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Then Raphinha<\/a> popped up once again in the 71st minute, taking advantage of a pass from Gordon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He moved clear at the top of the La Liga<\/a> scoring charts with five goals. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n That makes 80 in a Bar\u00e7a<\/a> shirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There was still time for a slick passing move to end with Yamal scoring once again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It was the 51st goal for the 19-year-old for Bar\u00e7a<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Barcelona moved up to nine points from three rounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n And they lead because of a better goal difference than Real\u2019s (10 to 8).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n They will be back in action on Sunday (6), when they visit Valencia at Mestalla.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
