Raphinha tops LaLiga with 9 goals after Racing Santander hat-trick

Barcelona captain Raphinha is currently the top scorer in LaLiga with nine goals after scoring a hat-trick in the club’s 7-2 win against Racing Santander on Wednesday, September 16, 2026. He leads Barcelona teammate Lamine Yamal and Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe by two goals, as both sit on seven goals each. Other players with six goals include Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano, Y. Zabiri of Santander, and Roberto Fernández of Espanyol, while Pierre‑Emerick Aubameyang of Deportivo has five.

For Nigerian football fans who follow LaLiga, knowing the current top scorers is useful for fantasy leagues, betting decisions, and match‑day discussions. Raphinha’s recent form highlights Barcelona’s attacking threat, which could influence match outcomes and upcoming fixtures. Although none of the current leaders are Nigerian, the league’s competitiveness offers a benchmark for Nigerian players aiming to break into European football.

Consider Raphinha as a strong fantasy pick for the next gameweeks and monitor Barcelona’s fixtures for likely goal contributions. If you engage in betting, note Barcelona’s high scoring potential. Keep an eye on the tight race — Yamal and Mbappe are only two goals behind, and a single match could shift the standings. Will you adjust your fantasy LaLiga squad to include Raphinha now, or wait to see if Yamal or Mbappe overtake him?
