A cruel defeat which now allows the Colchoneros to take control of the championship. The Madrid club are now two points ahead of Barça with a match in hand.
After the match, the Brazilian Raphinha did not hide his sadness about the result of the game and the different missed situations in this match. “I am particularly touched by this defeat. In the end, I missed a scoring opportunity (in the 57th minute, on a lob that hit the bar, Editor’s note) and five minutes later, they equalized,” he said in the mixed zone.
Before continuing: » Then I missed a pass that led to their second goal. I take full responsibility for the defeat. Life is like that. » A setback which hurts the Catalans who largely dominated this clash in the game.
