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."
