Raphinha shares his thoughts on adjusting to a fringe role at Barca

“I always say it’s great to have competition on the team,” Raphinha told the media after Barcelona thrashed Real Betis 5-0.

“We have a quality team and any player who takes part in a game will have a positive reaction.

“Winning is the most important part. We’re very happy,” the Brazilian added.

With Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres on fire (don’t forget there’s also Joao Felix), Raphinha has become a fringe player lately. However, he made an impact by scoring a stunner as a sub against Betis.

This was the 26-year-old’s first goal contribution for Barca this season.
