The Brazilian professional footballer, Raphel Dias Belloli, known as Raphinha, leads the top scorers for the UEFA Champions League 24/25.
After the first leg of the UCL quarterfinals played on Tuesday and Wednesday, Raphinha continues to sit on top of the goal scorers for the competition with 12 goals. He has also contributed 7 assists to the process of his team in the UCL.
Raphinha plays as a forward for La Liga club Barcelona in all clubs' competitions and the Brazil national team.
He has been very phenomenal for Barca across all competitions in Europe. He delivered an outstanding performance for Barcelona to beat their rival Real Madrid twice this season (in La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup final), scoring on each occasion.
Playing against Borussia Dortmund on home ground, Estadi Olimpic, he provided the seal-breaking goal for Barca when he slid at the far post - though he was perilously close to being offside when he prodded the ball into the net from close range.

He then provided two assists, getting involved in the second goal by having Lamine Yamal cross in the direction of Robert Lewandowski, Barca's leading striker, who netted a goal.
Barcelona won the game with 4 goals, and the fourth goal came in with Raphinha providing a sublime assist for Yamal to apply an equally impressive finish.
The team continues its season's UCL campaign as they look forward to qualifying for the semifinal as they go to Dortmund's home ground in Germany. Raphinha getting his name on the score sheet over there will continue to extend his lead as the top scorer.
