- This was also the final score of the match, as Barcelona lost the match; their first loss in this competition so far.
When did Rafinha become so good? He looks like a totally different player now after the spell with Inter. Very composed on the ball, every touch on the ball has a meaning, very confident and relaxed when in possession and he’s usually the one who is willing to take risks today.
