Raphinha has taken on the role of the leader of Barcelona, trying to boost team morality after losing 4-2 to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
The Brazilian striker, who holds the captain’s tape, has given a speech in the strip after the match’s end, urging his associates not to lose their temper and move forward despite the disappointing results that ended the 11-month series of Catalons.
It’s a waste we can easily afford. The quietness prevails on the team and we’ll move forward, it was Raphael’s message to the team.
Brazil has also highlighted significant shortages due to injuries, voicing confidence that Barcelona has the potential to compete with the best teams when all players are available.
There is the feeling that, without injuries and with a title formation where Rodri, Eric Garcia, Counde, and others, this team can compete and win such matches, he has declared.
The captain of Barcelona has insisted that the team should maintain its direction and not allow the loss to French champions to influence the continuation of the season.
We’ll continue on our way and do what we want, add Raphael.
He has also praised the SPG’s performance, stressing that, despite the loss, Barcelona indicated it could face high-level opponents.
It’s a very well-run team. Despite today’s outcome, we competed well. It was a good test to show that we can deal with such teams, the Brazilian is done.
Barcelona must now turn its attention to the next challenge, as a decisive confrontation against a staunch rival, Real Madrid, awaits Sunday, under the framework of El Classicos. /Telegraphy/
