Raphinha has been talking about life at Barcelona under Hansi Flick and his fine form so far this season for the Catalan giants.
The Brazilian has been key to Barcelona’s early-season form and was named La Liga’s Player of the Month for August.
After picking up the award, Raphinha has been asked about his performances and why he’s thriving this season under Flick.
“During last season, Xavi had me defending several times and the truth is that I really like being closer to the goal,” he told La Liga.
“I’m a player who really likes to score and assist so I know that the closer the goal is, the more opportunities I have to score or pass.
