Barcelona won 4-0 against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday in the first stage of their Champions League quart final draw, and undoubtedly the most spoken goal was scored by Raphinha.
The Brazilian superstar went on to 12 Champions League goals for the season with the opener at the Estadi Olimpic, and it was a rather comic effort. The Pau Cubarsi film was destined to reach the back of the net, but Raphinha stretched to get a touch before it went over the line.
Fortunately for Barcelona and Raphinha, he was also just behind the last Dortmund defender. And according to MD, he revealed that he apologized for Cubarsi for 'stealing' the first Champions League goal of the 18-year-old.
“I was very worried about whether I was offside or not. I had the doubt. I told Cubarsi that I had touched the ball before the ball went over the line and that the goal could be from me. I apologized to him, but he told me it was good. It was a fast moment, I thought the ball could go or not. It was also because I wanted to score on goals.”
Raphinha also spoke about the partnership he has with Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski, while he also repeated the feelings of head coach Hansi Flick that Barcelona is not yet until the last four, despite their considerable advantage.
“I like to play with players of a very high level. We have succeeded in making spectacular songs and I hope we will continue like this. But I will not acknowledge that we are in the semi -final.
