Sevilla Defender Reacts to Barcelona Star’s Comments
- Raphinha caught on camera making comments about Sevilla’s defense
- Loïc Badé responds after the footage goes viral
- Barcelona secured a dominant 4-1 win over Sevilla
What Happened?
During Barcelona’s 4-1 victory over Sevilla on Sunday, Brazilian winger Raphinha was caught on camera making a tactical remark to his teammates, instructing them on how to exploit Sevilla’s weaknesses.
Barcelona were level at 1-1 at halftime at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, but they dominated the second half, scoring three goals to claim a crucial win in La Liga.
What Did Raphinha Say?
Spanish network Movistar captured Raphinha speaking to Lamine Yamal and other teammates, discussing how to break Sevilla down in the second half.
According to Movistar, Raphinha said:
“We need to press higher because they are so bad at the back.”
While on-field tactical discussions are common in football, Raphinha’s blunt assessment of Sevilla’s defense raised eyebrows.
How Did Sevilla’s Loïc Badé Respond?
Sevilla defender Loïc Badé was asked about Raphinha’s remarks in an interview with Marca.
His response was calm but dismissive:
“I didn’t see it, but they can think whatever they want.”
“I haven’t watched the video, but if he thinks we are really bad… he can think whatever he wants.”
Despite the controversy, Barcelona’s dominance in the second half justified Raphinha’s words, as they ruthlessly exposed Sevilla’s defensive weaknesses.
