Relieved Raphinha admits he apologized to Pau Cubarsi after Barcelona opener against Dortmund

Raphinha was quick to reveal he apologised to Pau Cubarsi after Barcelona’s win over Dortmund in the Champions League.

Cubarsi thought he’d scored the opening goal after flicking home a header from Inigo Martinez, but Raphinha just got a touch before it crossed the line.

Barca then had to endure a nervous wait for an offside check before the goal was eventually given, leaving Raphinha a relieved man.

“I was worried about the play leading to the first goal, that I might be offside. The good thing is that it was valid,” he told the media.
