The Blaugrana were coming off a shock defeat against Rayo Vallecano, so a win was crucial for the team to get things back on track.Raphinha was one of the most crucial players for the team against Betis. The Brazilian said (via Barca Universal):“I’m always trying my best to improve and help the team. We knew we had to react after the game against Rayo.”Raphinha added:&quot;We know what we needed. It’s this desire and determination. If we want to win the league, we have to continue at this level.”Since his summer move, Raphinha hasn't always found it easy to get going at the Camp Nou. However, his numbers have been impressive this season. He will look to make the same sort of impact when the Blaugrana face Osasuna on Tuesday (May 2) in their next league outing.
