Raphinha: best Brazilian one-season scorer in UCL

Raphinha has scored for Barcelona 12 goals in this Champions League campaign, the most of any Brazilian player for any club in a single season. 
Previously, the best seasonal mark since 1992 (excluding qualifying stage) was 10 goals, repeated by 5 his compatriots (see the table).

*In the ranking of best Barcelona scorers in a single European campaign, Raphinha only concedes to Messi who scored 15 goals in 2011-12 (14 in UCL and 1 in UEFA Super Cup). Messi also had 2 seasons with 12 goals (2010-11 and 2018-19).

*5 of Raphinha’s UCL goals this season came in 3 games against Benfica (2+1+2).
Previously, only 2 Barcelona players scored so much vs same opposition in a single season: 
Messi (6 vs Bayer Leverkusen in 2011-12 and 5 vs Celtic in 2016-17),
Neymar (5 vs PSG in 2014-15).

*Raphinha has already collected 19 goal involvements in this Champions League season (12 goals,7 assists).
He is just the second Brazilian to be directly involved in 15+ goals in a UCL campaign after Roberto Firmino in 2017-18 (10 goals, 5 assists), while only Messi has ever had a hand in so many Champions League goals in a single season for Barcelona (14 goals, 5 assists in 2011-12).
