A brilliant strike set Barcelona on course for a 2-0 win, securing the LaLiga title. Real Madrid trails seven points behind with only two games left.

“We didn't have many clear chances but we have a kid in there who sometimes pulls something out of the golden feet he has and he gave us peace of mind to stay in the game more calmly,” Raphinha said, praising his teammate's decisive moment.

“In January some people were saying we would fight to be third. We have confidence in ourselves. That's the key. We trust in the work and in what we know we can do.”

Raphinha scored 18 league goals this season, including a crucial brace against Real Madrid. He credited coach Hansi Flick's trust for his success.

“The most important thing was the confidence of the coach. Knowing at the start of the season that he was counting on me, a person who controls the team... it changes you in the end,” Raphinha said, highlighting Flick's impact on his performance.
