Barcelona star sends message to club’s fans before Atlético showdown
Barcelona's winger, Raphinha, took to social media on Monday to issue a rallying cry to the club's supporters.
This message comes just ahead of a pivotal fixture in the Blaugrana's calendar: the second leg of their Copa del Rey showdown against Diego Simeone's Atlético Madrid, set for tomorrow evening.
Hansi Flick's squad faces a formidable challenge, heading into the match with a four-goal deficit after a devastating loss in the tie's opener at the Metropolitano.
As the reigning Copa del Rey champions, Barcelona is acutely aware that only an extraordinary turnaround, bordering on a miracle, will allow them to keep their title defense aspirations alive.
Consequently, Raphinha, the Brazilian international who is widely expected to be in the starting lineup on Tuesday, shared a powerful statement with all those associated with the Catalan powerhouse.
On his official Instagram account, Raphinha posted: "1% possibility. 99% faith. We are counting on you."
