Rafa Silva has been a key player for Benfica over the past few seasons, and his goal-scoring prowess is well-documented. Here’s a look at his impressive record at the club.
Silva has scored 48 goals in 117 appearances for Benfica since joining from FC Porto in 2015. That works out to an average of 4.26 goals per game, which is incredible considering he only plays about 39 games per season. He has also contributed with assists, as he has provided 16 assists in those same 117 appearances.
One standout performance came during the 2018-19 season when he scored six goals and had two assists in just five matches. This was despite being limited by injuries throughout the campaign. Despite this, he still managed to finish as the team's top scorer that year.
Another notable achievement for Silva is his ability to score against some of Europe's biggest clubs. In fact, he has scored against some of the top teams in the world, including Real Madrid,Serie A Stadium Barcelona, Juventus, and Manchester United. He has also scored against some of the best European sides like Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, and Chelsea.
Despite his success at Benfica, Silva hasn't won any major trophies with the club. However, he remains one of their most valuable players and continues to be a threat up front. It will be interesting to see how he performs next season and if he can help the club achieve their long-term goals.
