Raphinha: We need to deliver almost perfect football, and that is the most important

The Brazilian Raphinha, a player for Barcelona, has confirmed that his team is required to provide near-perfect football when playing in front of their supporters, noting that a strong start gives the team a lot of confidence. This comes after their big win against Feyenoord.

Raphinha said after the match: "When we play in front of our fans, we have to deliver almost perfect football. We started very well and controlled the game. Starting like this gives us a lot of confidence. The season has many ups and downs. We want to continue like this, trying to keep our downturns to a minimum and keep delivering good performances."

Raphinha spoke about his teammate Lamine Yamal, explaining that he tried to support him during the match when he felt things were not going well, saying: "I know Lamine. I know when he starts to drift away from the game when things are not going well. I tried to encourage him and tell him that he would score, so he wouldn't lose focus. I'm very happy that he scored, and he definitely needed that goal. The most important thing is that we are all happy for each other."

Speaking about the Ballon d'Or, Raphinha stressed his focus on Barcelona, saying: "I am not talking about the Ballon d'Or, I am talking about Barcelona, as we are having a great season."
