Raphinha Claims Barcelona Made Athletic Bilbao Look EASY in Massive Super Cup Win
Raphinha states Barcelona controls the game against Athletic Bilbao, claiming their win was down to their own quality in the Spanish Super Cup.
Barcelona blew Athletic Bilbao away to reach the final of the Spanish Super Cup. But according to Raphinha, the Basques aren’t an easy team because they’re weak.
"We are the ones who make the match easy. I think we showed our quality as a team" said Raphinha.
He believes the key lies in how Barcelona plays on both ends of the pitch.
"If we do things right, if we defend well and attack well… the match becomes easier"

The Brazilian midfielder knows Athletic Bilbao always put up a fight, but it’s ultimately Barcelona who decide how tough the game is.
"Against Athletic, it’s always hard, but in the end, we decide whether it will be easy or difficult", added Raphinha.
Barça cruised to a 5-0 win, with Raphinha himself netting two of those goals.
