'This is the spirit we need' - Raphinha sends message to Barcelona after Atletico win
"I think the important thing is to believe in the work. There are many matches where we can start losing. We have to be prepared. We're working on it very well. This is the spirit we need to have to win matches like this,"
"We might concede a goal, but we need to keep our heads to come back in a game like this. We knew how difficult this game would be and that we could end up like last year, with them scoring first."
"I think the more we press high up the pitch, the closer we are to the opponent's goal. That way we'll have more chances to score goals."
"I'm looking to get back to my best physical condition. I felt it today, a bit tired. I asked to be substituted because I couldn't go on. Both Pedri and I have other high-quality players who can take our places,"
Barcelona came from behind to beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 at Camp Nou, moving four points clear at the top of the table. Atletico opened the scoring before Raphinha levelled; Robert Lewandowski missed a penalty, and Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres secured the win. Raphinha credited belief in the work, hard work and team character for the comeback and stressed the need to keep composure after conceding. He highlighted high pressing as a way to create more chances. Raphinha asked to be substituted because of tiredness, not injury, and said the team is gaining confidence game by game.
