Raphinha Found Courtois’ Biggest Weakness — And He Keeps Exploiting It in El Clásico

Raphinha has completely unlocked Thibaut Courtois’ ultimate weak point in El Clásico. Since last year, Raphinha has scored five goals against Real Madrid, all following the same deadly pattern. He always shoots low, no matter how the ball reaches him. Even headers somehow end up on the ground.

Courtois is an elite goalkeeper, but his height works against him when facing low, quick finishes. Raphinha understands this perfectly. In the last Clásico, when Raphinha slipped and accidentally shot high, Courtois expected the same again — went low — and conceded. Even with Messi as the all-time top scorer, Raphinha’s goals-per-minute in El Clásico is already comparable. This isn’t luck. It’s precision.
