""I think our performance has been on another level, we fought together, and it's been fantastic. "It's very important to get players back. Some aren't at 100% yet, and we've had to substitute them. With the ball, we've controlled it more and created more space. It's been very positive.""
""Rapha is a very important player for us. When he's on the field, he increases the dynamism, the intensity... you can see it on the pitch. He has given us many positive aspects.""
""He's an exceptional player. I'm happy he didn't need time to get back to his previous level. We saw it on Saturday and today. He's managed the connection between defence and attack very well.""
Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid 3-1 at the Spotify Camp Nou with goals from Raphinha, Dani Olmo, and Ferran Torres after conceding an early Alex Baena strike. The victory moved Barcelona four points clear of Real Madrid in the La Liga table. The team delivered an elevated collective performance, controlling possession, creating more space, and showing increased dynamism and intensity. Raphinha's return added notable energy and impact. Pedri was substituted due to tiredness but continued to link defence and attack effectively. Dani Olmo has a shoulder problem that will be assessed.
