Career totals from the ESPN season archive — all competitions, the same numbers The Record below shows (Wikidata's senior spells fill in when the archive is thin — never the youth years, which stay listed on their own below); live World Cup stats from our own match timelines. Individual awards are counted separately from team trophies, so the headline count can't inflate.

Rafael "Rafa" Alexandre da Conceição Leão is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Süper Lig club Galatasaray and the Portugal national team. He is known for his dribbling and speed. — Wikipedia's own summary; its figures are theirs
