"Barcelona star Raphinha admitted he enjoyed himself on Wednesday night after scoring twice in a 5-0 win over Athletic Cup in the Spanish Super Cup. The Catalan giants simply cruised past the Baque side to set up a final against either Real Madrid or Atletico on Sunday in Jeddah. Raphinha says that when Barcelona are playing well, football becomes easy, and that he's aiming for perfection this season."
""I think we make the game easy for ourselves. When we're playing well, the game becomes easier. It's not an easy game to play against Athletic. They have a lot of quality and many players who can decide a match. But whether it's easy or difficult, we make it our own," he said after the game. "This shows that we're ready no matter who plays. Roony came in very well and Fermín has come back in great form. This demonstrates the quality of the team."
