Sunday 25-01-2026
The Brazilian Raphinha, Barcelona's winger, expressed his happiness with the big victory his team achieved over Real Oviedo with three clean goals in the 21st round of La Liga, confirming that the match was not easy despite the result.

Raphinha said: "We knew it would be a tough match, it's a team that presses you and tries to play, I think we weren't at our best in the first half, but in the second half we managed to score goals, and that's the most important, which is what we were looking for."

He added: "We always try to press forward and win as many balls as possible, as happened in the second goal, it's unfortunate for the center-back, but this is what I have to do, press in such moments."

He continued talking about his personal performance this season, confirming: "Those who watch the games can judge, but I think I'm doing the same thing I was doing last season."

He concluded: "I always strive to improve and present the best version of myself, and I will never say that I am at my best."
