"We knew that with this new Champions League format, after losing our debut at Monaco, we needed to hit back quickly and decisively, and that is what we did," Raphinha told Movistar Plus (h/t Flashscore). "The LaLiga loss at Osasuna over the weekend was an added pressure, but the team responded well, and I'm proud of our performance.
"In this new Champions League, not only every point but also every goal scored counts so the more, the better."
