Dani Olmo explains how Raphinha is inspiring Hansi Flick’s Barcelona team

Dani Olmo has been full of praise for Raphinha after seeing the Brazilian make a brilliant start to the season with Barcelona.

The forward has six goals and six assists this season and has taken over the captain’s armband after Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s injury.

Yet Olmo says it’s Raphinha’s work rate and desire that is inspiring his team-mates under Hansi Flick.

“He seems tireless. Sometimes I tell him, Rafa, sometimes I tell him, Rapha, be careful, but it’s that pressure... that desire he has without the ball to win it back.
