'1% chance, 99% faith' - Barcelona duo demand full Camp Nou backing for Atletico comeback | Barca Universal

"Raphinha's 'we're counting on you' is a reminder that nights like these are not won by players alone. The supporters must become the 12th player. Soon after, Lamine Yamal Nasraoui followed suit. The teenager posted the same belief in Catalan: '1% de possibilitats, 99% de fe' (1% chance, 99% faith)."

"In 2017, Neymar himself had said, 'As long as there's a 1% chance, I'll have 99% faith.' He said it the day after the 4-0 loss in Paris, and the rest is history. Sergi Roberto's goal sealed the 6-1 win, and it remains one of the most dramatic comebacks ever seen in European football."

"There may be no Neymar, Lionel Messi, or Luis Suarez now. But Raphinha, Yamal, Pedri, Ferran and the rest believe something special can happen again. 90% faith once beat 1% chance. Barcelona now hope it can happen again."

Barcelona has resurrected the iconic '1% chance, 99% faith' slogan that defined their legendary 6-1 comeback victory over Paris Saint-Germain in 2017. Players including Raphinha and Lamine Yamal have shared this message on social media to rally both the squad and supporters for an upcoming Copa del Rey challenge. The slogan, originally popularized through a Nike campaign following the initial 0-4 defeat in Paris, became more than marketing—it represented a mindset of unwavering belief. Though the current squad lacks players like Neymar, Messi, and Suárez from that era, Raphinha, Yamal, Pedri, and Ferran Torres believe they can replicate that historic spirit and achieve another dramatic turnaround.
