The Barcelona superstar insists that winning it all is non-negotiable: “If you don’t think like that…”

Recent messages from the FC Barcelona locker room emphasize the importance of responsibility and high expectations as the team prepares to face Atlético de Madrid at the Estadi Olímpic de Montjuic.

With the next match crucial, the players remind each other what it really means to wear the iconic Blaugrana jersey.

One of the loudest voices among them is Raphinha, who is taking on a leadership role at Barcelona this season. As team captain, he not only sets an example on the field, but also leads with his words.

According to the Brazilian, the players must be motivated by the ambition to win all competitions. He firmly stated that if someone does not share that mentality, they are not in the right place.

“If you play for Barça you have to think about winning everything and if you don’t think like that you are on the wrong team.” He said quoted by Mundo Deportivo.

More than just words

The 27-year-old Brazil international is well aware of the weight of leadership and what it takes to succeed at the highest level. He shared his opinion on what constitutes a successful season: winning titles. For Raphinha, anything less simply isn’t enough.

“What is a great season? Win titles” said.

He went on to emphasize that when a new season begins, players should aim for nothing less than the greatest achievements.

Playing for a prestigious club like Barcelona means fighting for victory in all competitions and anything else would be unacceptable.

“Everything, I think about everything. When you play for a club like Barça you have to think about winning as much as possible. And if you don’t think like that, then you’re on the wrong team… or you shouldn’t be here.” he added.

Raphinha’s message is clear: players must be fully committed to the club’s goals or risk being in the wrong environment. His words reflect the high expectations that come with representing a club with the history and ambition of Barcelona.
