Raphinha’s Barcelona story reads differently depending on the venue. The left-footed winger has been more decisive in front of the home crowd, and the numbers back it up. According to Sofascore data on Raphinha, his output and influence climb when Barcelona plays at home.

Home form by the numbers

Raphinha has 87 home appearances for Barcelona, producing 46 goals and 29 assists. That works out at 0.53 goals per appearance and 0.33 assists per appearance at home.

Away from home, his 85 appearances have brought 28 goals and 22 assists. That equals 0.33 goals and 0.26 assists per appearance, with a combined 0.59 goal contributions per game. The average Sofascore Rating in away matches reads 7.36, a solid mark but a step below his home level. The gap in output and Rating captures a player whose best work shows up most often in Barcelona home fixtures.

Why Barcelona’s home setup boosts him

Several football factors can tilt a winger’s efficiency at home. Barcelona typically spends more time in advanced areas at home, letting a left-footed wide player like Raphinha receive higher and attack earlier. Shorter defensive transitions and closer support often improve shot quality and passing options. Set pieces and second balls also tend to accumulate in the attacking third, giving him extra touches in decisive zones. These patterns help explain why the home numbers carry stronger goal and assist rates.

Confidence in familiar surroundings matters as well and it often shows up in dribbles attempted and risk-taking. With teammates pushing lines, his cut-ins and crosses can find more runners, raising chance creation. That steady base forms the backbone of a 7.76 average Sofascore Rating at home. On Sofascore, the effect shows in his higher average Ratings at home.

Away days: still productive, slightly different

The away split does not mean a drop in importance, only a shift in how he impacts games. With 28 goals and 22 assists in 85 away outings, Raphinha still brings steady production for Barcelona. The 7.36 Sofascore Rating away from home points to consistent involvement even when spaces are tighter. He may take fewer risks or receive the ball deeper, which can trim shot volume but keep possession secure. In those scenarios, his value often comes from link play, pressing triggers, and smart movements off the ball.

Lower combined goal contributions per game away from home reflect match states that are harder to tilt. Many away matches reward patience and control, traits that do not always translate into headline numbers. Yet his tally shows he still finds decisive moments when they appear. Barcelona can bank on that reliability in venues where margins are small.
