Vitor Roque Joins the Legacy: Following in the Footsteps of Brazilian Greats at Barça

In a triumphant performance against Osasuna (1-0) at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, 18-year-old Brazilian forward Vitor Roque marked his debut goal for FC Barcelona. Roque’s achievement mirrors the iconic beginnings of illustrious compatriots, including Romário, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, and Ronaldinho, who also opened their goal-scoring accounts in front of the Culés’ faithful.

Romário dazzled with a hat-trick in the opening league match against Real Sociedad at Camp Nou (3-0), Ronaldo, like ‘Tigrinho,’ netted his first goal at Montjuïc in the Supercopa de España final against Atlético de Madrid (5-2). Rivaldo showcased his free-kick prowess in another victory against Real Sociedad (3-0), while Ronaldinho left his mark in the memorable ‘Night of Gazpacho’ against Sevilla (1-1). Sonny Anderson, between Ronaldo and Rivaldo, notched his inaugural goal in the Champions League qualifying round’s return leg against Skonto Riga (0-1).

Subsequent Brazilian forwards at Barça initially found the net away from Camp Nou. Neymar scored in the Supercopa de España final’s first leg against Atlético de Madrid at the Vicente Calderón (1-1), Malcom found the target at San Siro against Inter Milan in the Champions League group stage (1-1), and Raphinha celebrated his first goal as a Culé in a triumphant outing at the Sánchez Pizjuán against Sevilla (0-3).

With his goal at Montjuïc, Vitor Roque revives the tradition of Brazilian forwards debuting as goal-scorers at Barça in front of the home crowd. The upcoming match against Alavés on Saturday offers Roque the chance to continue adding to this rich legacy.
