🎥 Raphinha sparks row with Atleti fans after elimination | OneFootball

FC Barcelona's elimination in the Champions League quarter-finals has left an open wound and an unexpected central figure: Raphinha.

The Brazilian winger did not hide his frustration after losing to Atlético de Madrid, getting involved in a tense exchange with the crowd at the Metropolitano and lashing out harshly at the match referee.

At the end of the match, DAZN cameras caught the forward addressing the home fans with a defiant message: “You’re going home in the next round”.

This gesture inflamed the mood of a crowd celebrating their place in the semi-finals, reflecting the high tension on the pitch throughout the ninety minutes.

A monumental rant in the mixed zone

Later, in the mixed zone, the Brazilian kept up his critical tone, focusing his attacks on the refereeing. “The referee robbed us. They made unbelievable decisions”, he said bluntly.

Raphinha complained about the inconsistency in the booking criteria, claiming that the opposition committed multiple fouls without being punished. In addition, the player suggested that there were external factors that influenced the result.

“Atlético committed I don’t know how many fouls and they didn’t show them a single yellow card. I want to understand that they are afraid that Barcelona could win”. These statements could lead to sanctions for the player.
