Win it for Raphinha! - Hansi Flick’s message to Barcelona players ahead of Atletico clash

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick reportedly had a special message for his players ahead of the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid.

The German coach urged his team to win it for Raphinha after seeing the Brazilian endure a tough time over the international break with his national team, according to Diario Sport.

Raphinha returned exhausted and frustrated and, knowing how loved he is in the dressing room, Flick wanted Barca to avenge their team-mate against a team packed full of Argentina internationals.

Barcelona went on to win 1-0 to secure a place in the Copa del Rey final and leave Hansi Flick a very happy man after the game.
