Watch: Red-hot Raphinha nets hat-trick in Barca's cathartic win over Bayern

Raphinha is on an absolute heater.

The Barcelona winger continued his red-hot start to the season Wednesday, scoring a sublime hat-trick in his side's 4-1 win over Bayern Munich that ended the German side's six-match winning streak against the Catalan club.

After finding the net twice in the first half, the Brazilian completed his treble with an excellent finish in the 56th minute, smacking a low shot into the corner and giving his team an insurmountable lead after being sent through by Lamine Yamal.

Raphinha now has nine goals in 13 matches for Barcelona this season.

His hat-trick matched that of Real Madrid counterpart Vinicius Junior, who scored three times in a comeback win over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. The Brazilian wingers, both in sensational form, figure to play vital roles for their respective teams when eternal rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid meet in the latest edition of El Clasico on Saturday.

"In my opinion this game could have been a (Champions League) final, to be able to win it in this way, so well, in front of our fans, is quite special and I leave here happy," Raphinha said after Wednesday's win.

"For the fans, I think it was revenge," he added, reflecting on Bayern's recent dominance against Barcelona in the competition. "As a fan I suffered through those games too."
