Raphinha has sent a rallying call to Barcelona fans following the team’s unexpected 4-2 defeat to Osasuna at El Sadar Stadium. The Brazilian winger, who started on the bench, came on in the second half but could not change the outcome as the Catalans suffered their first La Liga setback of the 2024-25 season under new coach Hansi Flick.
With Barcelona struggling to find their rhythm against a determined Osasuna side, Flick’s decision to rotate the squad backfired. Despite Lamine Yamal’s stunning goal, Barça couldn’t mount a comeback.
After the match, Raphinha took to social media to express his optimism and belief in the team. “It is through defeats that we learn to grow. I have a lot of confidence in this team and the work. Still together, always together,” he posted, urging supporters to stay united as they navigate the challenges ahead.
Barcelona will now focus on their upcoming fixtures against Young Boys in the Champions League and Alaves in La Liga before the next international break.
