Raphinha: We Haven't Qualified Yet, and I Apologized to Kouparsi

Barcelona star Raphinha spoke to the press after the 4-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals at Montjuïc Stadium.

The player said: "Reviewing the first goal? I was worried about whether there was an offside or not; I had my doubts, and thank God they confirmed the goal was valid."

He added: "I told Kouparsi that I touched the ball before it crossed the line, and I apologized to him. He told me that everything was fine; it was a fast play, and I put my foot out of fear it would go out."

Regarding playing with Yamal: "I love playing with very high-level players; we know each other well, and that is very important. We are achieving amazing numbers."

He concluded: "Have you secured qualification to the semi-finals? Not yet; there is one match left, and it is always difficult to play in front of their fans. We achieved a good result today, and we need to play a good match next week."
