Raphinha scored twice on the day and spoke afterwards, "He is a very special and important person in the locker room. This victory is 100 per cent for him."
On coach Hansi Flick rotations, he said: "I think there are players who don't get as many minutes, but they can all start. They are working well and have a lot of quality."
On his personal form: "It's my best start to a season. I'm very happy. What's happened, is happened. The most important thing is the team's victory.
"This club is very special to me. I have been a Barça fan since I was a child and being able to wear this shirt is very exciting."
