Barcelona midfielder
“It was a difficult game, especially in the first half... we also gave away the ball too easily a lot, that's not usually our level and our standard, and in the second half it was like that.”

“We know the quality of Raphinha, and we're very happy about him; he gives us a lot. Today the team gives him the last pass, and he made it happen for us, so it's good.”
