Barcelona is going through a very positive period at the beginning of this season, as the Catalan team leads the La Liga table after 11 rounds with 30 points.<\/p>\n
The Catalan team succeeded in widening the gap with its traditional rival, Real Madrid, to 6 full points after the crushing defeat suffered by Carlo Ancelotti’s men in El Clasico. Real Madrid is currently in second place with 24 points.
\nBrazilian Rafinha, a star for Barcelona, praised the mentality of his fellow players, stressing that it is the main factor behind the team’s brilliance this season, not just the influence of German coach Hansi Flick.<\/p>\n
Barcelona, under the leadership of coach Hansi Flick, is performing at a high level this season, and Rafinha’s performance has improved significantly, making him one of the essential elements that are indispensable to the team.
\nThe Brazilian player has become one of the best in the world this season and may be the best after the fantastic level he is showcasing with Barcelona in all tournaments.<\/p>\n
Despite the significant changes made by Flick, Rafinha believes that the players’ mentality is the true driver of success.
\n\u201cFlick\u2019s influence is important, but it\u2019s not on the pitch; we play, score, and defend. The coach\u2019s role is to help us improve our game, but teamwork is key,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
