After another brilliant game against Sevilla, are Barcelona becoming dependent on hat-trick hero Raphinha?

Barcelona forward Raphinha scored a hat-trick to help his side overcome a tough test against Sevilla on Saturday. Sevilla opened the scoring in the 19th minute, but Raphinha quickly equalized before adding two more goals in the second half to secure the victory. The Brazilian striker has now scored 12 goals in seven La Liga games this season.

Manager Hansi Flick's decision to deploy Raphinha in a new central striker role has sparked an exceptional run of form. Two of Raphinha's goals against Sevilla were assisted by Lamine Yamal, who provided key passes to unlock the organized Sevilla defense.
