Raphinha was the great figure in the Spanish Super Cup final, with two decisive goals that helped Barcelona win the title against Real Madrid. After winning the first trophy of the season, the Brazilian winger highlighted the importance of Hansi Flick in his recent career at the Catalan club.
«If Hansi Flick hadn’t come, I would have left Barcelona. He changed everything». The Brazilian international also revealed that the confidence conveyed by the coach was decisive: «He told me I was going to be important. That’s what a player needs: confidence.”
Regarding the final, he highlighted the maturity shown by the team. “We all knew what we had to do to win this game. I think we did very well. There were moments when we had to defend more, but when we had the ball we did it very well. The final result was quite unfair compared to what we did in the game”, he said, leaving a message of ambition for the future: “The team has matured a lot and we can continue the work from last season. We are focused and we know what we want.”
