Raphinha, one of the standout players on this Barcelona team, was visibly upset after the disappointing loss to Atlético de Madrid in Montjuic.
The Brazilian winger expressed his frustration with the result, believing that the final score did not accurately reflect the team’s overall performance.
The defeat, in his opinion, was due to specific individual errors rather than a lack of effort or quality on the field of play.
Raphinha’s analysis
Despite the difficult result, Raphinha showed a sense of responsibility and took full responsibility for the team’s loss.
He recognized two key moments where his actions directly impacted the game. First, they missed a crucial scoring opportunity and, shortly after, Atlético took advantage to level the score.

“I think we played very well. The team has behaved very well. I have the habit of saying that we do not control the result but we do control the delivery on the field. I think we played very well today.” said.
Assume the responsibility
Later, a misplaced pass from Raphinha led to Atlético’s second goal, putting Barcelona at a disadvantage. Instead of assigning blame, Raphinha openly admitted his role in these crucial moments, emphasizing his determination to learn from the experience.
“I accept this defeat today. In the end I lost a goal and I think about five minutes later they got the tie and then missed a pass that led to the second goal. I leave all today’s defeat under my responsibility. Life is like that.”
The winger remained committed with his confidence in the team’s overall progress and potential. He highlighted the effort and dedication shown by the squad throughout the match.
Despite the setback, Raphinha stressed the importance of staying focused and continuing to work hard as the season progresses. With half of the La Liga campaign still ahead, there is plenty of time to recover and achieve positive results.
“We believe in the work we are doing. There is still half of La Liga left. We have to focus on working and seeking the best results.” said the winger.
