GOAL
Barcelona winger Raphinha was left angry with his side’s performance in their 2-1 defeat at home to Las Palmas on Saturday.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Las Palmas went ahead early in the second half of the La Liga clash, only for Raphinha to equalise with an excellent effort from outside the box. The visitors struck again six minutes later and put on a strong defensive display to seal the three points.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Barca are now winless in three La Liga matches, seeing a strong lead on rivals Real Madrid slip to just four points, with two games in hand for Carlo Ancelotti’s team. The Catalan team’s dip in form has angered Raphinha, who urged his team to turn things around.
WHAT RAPHINHA SAID
“We have been doing poorly. We’re lowering the level of what we were doing. We have to keep working,” he told TV3. “There are many things we are doing wrong. We have to turn this around and get back to winning in LaLiga. I’m angry, I don’t care much about my goal, I cared about the victory. We didn’t win and I’m not satisfied with the match.”
