Raphinha Takes Full Responsibility for Barcelona's Loss
Barcelona's captain, Raphinha, openly accepts blame for the team's recent defeat against Atlético Madrid, citing missed opportunities and personal errors.
Following Barcelona's 2-1 loss to Atlético Madrid at Montjuïc, captain Raphinha has candidly acknowledged his role in the defeat. In a post-match interview, he stated, 'I take full responsibility for this loss. I missed a clear scoring opportunity and hit the post when I could have doubled our lead.'
Raphinha reflected on the team's performance, noting, 'I think we played very well. The team was excellent. It's becoming common to say we've controlled the game but didn't get the result we deserved.' He emphasized the impact of his missed chances, mentioning that shortly after his errors, Atlético managed to equalize and then capitalize on a misplaced pass from him to score the winning goal.
Despite the setback, Raphinha remains optimistic about the future, urging the team to stay focused: 'We believe in what we're doing. There's still the second half of the league ahead. We must concentrate on our work and strive for the best results.'
