“I am a user who respects everyone. When I came out [in the tunnel], there were other people who insulted me, I returned them,” Raphinha said.
“I know it’s the right thing, but in the end, we were all heated. In my opinion, they may have understood the situation, but they liked to insult me. “
The Brazilian, who had to be separated from the Benfica players, added: “The Benfica aspect may have retaliated. If they respect me, I respect them. This is general in football in a setting like this [so that there is tension].

Benfica exasperated through referee Danny Makkelie after Leandro Barreiro seemed to have been conducted through a defender of Barcelona, the penalty surface in the structure of Raphinha’s purpose. If the failure had been given, he would have canceled the purpose of Barcelona and would have given the Portuguese component a dramatic possibility of winning the death party.
Var verified a possible penalty but not to overthrow Makkelie’s resolution in the field, which led to a livid reaction from Bruno Lage and his players.
Substitute Arthur Cabral – who hadn’t even come off the bench – was sent off by the referee for his reaction, before Lage made his feelings known to the Dutch official. But Barcelona celebrated in Portugal, knowing that the win seals their place in the next phase of the competition.
