by During the last international break, the Brazil national team played against Argentina, and before the match, Raphinha made a bold statement. However, the Brazilians lost 1-4, and now he has decided to clarify his words.
Details: In a comment to TNT Brazil, the winger admitted that perhaps the words he used weren’t the best. But it clearly shows his mindset when he puts on the national team shirt.
Quote: “It’s about defending the national team shirt, defending my country. For me, it’s important to defend my team, whether it’s with the national team or here at Barcelona. If I need to fight, I will do it,” Raphinha explained.
Before the game, the Barcelona winger had stated that they would defeat Argentina both on and off the pitch if necessary. Raphinha also mentioned that he would do everything possible to score a goal and send the Argentinians packing.
Reminder: In the first quarterfinal match of the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona thrashed Borussia Dortmund 4-0, and Raphinha scored one goal and provided two assists in the game.
