Raphinha:
“Very happy to have scored my first goal. It was a good game.
I tried to have a good game. I’m very happy and hope to continue it.”
He thinks they’re better than Real Madrid this season.
When talking about their next match, the Brazilian had some definitive words for his team and his rivals, hoping to continue his scoring streak.
“One always tries to score against anyone, but if it’s in a Derby, even more.
The most important thing is the win. But for me we’re better than Real Madrid.”
He went on to praise his teammates by acknowledging their performance and complementing them for their skills,
and saying that playing with them is really easy, cause they make everything so much simpler.
“Barcelona has several young talented players.
They’re doing a great job with them. They’re always fighting for championships.”
