RAPHINHA TRIED EVERYTHING, BUT ALMOST NOTHING CAME OUT
Raphinha, more desire and intensity than success and good play
Despite the victory and qualification to the round of 16, Raphinha has had a bad taste in his mouth for FC Barcelona-Porto. He returned to the title and, although he got 'tired' of trying in front of the rival area, he showed his most flawed and unfortunate version
Raphinha Was one of the proper names of the party of the FC Barcelona against the Port wine, no by his tarpaulin and the disequilibrium that could generate in his return to the alignment title, but by the frustration with which finish the party. It was an occasion so that it tried desbordar constantly by his band and that benefited of his speed and good strike for 'noquear' to the prompt Port wine, but was missing him fortune.
The international with Brazil had several phases in the game. From a quite toneless presence and conditioned by his decisions, that were not the best, until trying be important. It was a player that, in a lot of moments, understood what needed the team and was able to loom to the space, receive opened in amplitude to be able to open spaces for 'promote' to Pedri González, but in the last touch always failed. A history that has repeated in more than an occasion in this season.
Raphinha, without tarpaulin against the Port wine
And it is that, although no they can him argue his win and intention, did not go his more brilliant party. It played 89 minutes, before giving entrance to Lamine Yamal, with four finish to the arch, three of them blocked, and another that left was. Had the goal in his boots in clear opportunities, but this last decision and touch condemned him against the Port wine, until the point that, more than once, to Xavi Hernández saw him frustrated from the technical zone by his actions.
In the offensive section did not have a lot of luck, but once again saw him very sacrificed to help in defensive works, as it accustoms, and did not doubt in any moment in going down to look for the balloon. Even in days in which it is not hit, is a player that helps a lot to the collective game and that has a reading of the spaces that benefit him to him and to the rest of his mates. In Montjuïc, in the first 'final' of the Catalans in this season, was not the exception.
