Barcelona star Raphinha spoke in press statements after the victory over Espanyol 2-0 in the 26th round of La Liga, a victory that officially granted the Catalan team the La Liga title.
The player said in his remarks: "We were below our level in the first half, but in the second half, we controlled the match more. We didn't have many chances, but we have a young player who sometimes shines with his golden feet (Yamal)."
Regarding his opinion on Hansi Flick: "The coach's confidence is a key factor, and it has helped me a lot to gain the confidence needed to play better. When your teammates and the coach trust you, many things change. Flick told me before I started that he relies on me and trusts my work."
On teamwork: "In modern football, it is important for all players to contribute to both defense and attack. The game is very dynamic and relies on physical strength. I know that I won't make a big difference in individual confrontations, but I can help a lot in defense."
On winning the title: "We always believe in ourselves and our work. They said we would finish in third place, and we have won everything in Spain."
