For the second row match, due to a tight calendar, Raphinha again stuck on the bench of FC Barcelona. At a press conference after the meeting, Hansi Flick explained that it is not only a question of rest. “It's quite problematic for us. I spoke to him at halftime to see if he could play. He was very honest and told me that he did not feel very well. He will train after tomorrow and, if he feels better, he will be ready for the next match ”explained the German manager of Barça.
A “next match” far from being without stake, since it is the return match of the King Cup semi-finals, against Atlético de Madrid at Wanda Metropolitano. After a crazy meeting on the outward journey (4-4), the Catalans will have to better manage the meeting to hope to achieve the hat-trick, which would be the first of the club since 2015. A feat that could therefore be done without the Brazilian winger.
