Despitre scoring, Raphinha expressed anger and frustration following the defeat to Las Palmas.

Barcelona star Raphinha has expressed his anger and frustration over the club's current run of results, despite blossoming on a personal level. 

The 27-year-old, handed the captain band, with Ter Stegen, Ronaldo Araujo and Frenkie de Jong (now returned) injured, has been one of Barcelona's shining stars. 

He has 15 goals or assists in 15 LALIGA games this season and some of those helped the Blaugrana open a healthy eight-point lead in LALIGA, they have now lost most of that advantage after a run of three games without a win.

What Raphinha said 

Barcelona's current dismal run in LALIGA started before the international break, a 1-0 defeat to Real Sociedad. Expected to shake it off upon resumption from the break, they squandered a two-goal lead to draw at Celta. 

Earlier today, they were beaten 2-1 by a gutsy Las Palmas side, and having played two games more than second-placed Real Madrid, it means their current four-point advantage could soon become a two-point advantage.

Speaking about the match, a visibly distraught Raphinha said, “We have been doing poorly. We’re lowering the level of what we were doing. We have to keep working," he told TV3.

"There are many things we are doing wrong. We have to turn this around and get back to winning in LaLiga. I’m angry, I don’t care much about my goal, I cared about the victory. We didn't win and I'm not satisfied with the match."
