Stat attack - Braithwate becomes the fastest Barcelona player to score three champions league goals in just 91 minutes.
A willing runner. In most of the attacks, he manages to be on the shoulder of defenders and accelerates towards the goal. Sometimes giving an alternative option for the cross or sometimes being the protagonist of the attack
