On Monday, Barça lost to Girona 2-1 away from home. However, the goal that gave the home club the victory caused outrage in the Catalan team due to an alleged foul on defender Koundé, not called by the referee.
After the match, the Brazilian spoke out in a social media post.
“Well, we have many things to improve, but not just us. It’s very complicated when the rules are different, whether they are in our favor or against us, but if we have to play against everyone to win, that’s fine… We will succeed. Visca el Barça always,” he wrote.
The game marked Raphinha's return to the field after an injury, after missing three matches. The 29-year-old athlete reached 23 matches in the current season with 13 goals and five assists.
