Rafinha’s Quiet Confidence: Barcelona’s 3-0 Victory Keeps La Liga On Track
26 January 2026
Brazilian star Rafinha stressed the importance of Barcelona's 3-0 victory over Real Oviedo on Sunday, in La Liga matchday 23 tonight.
Rafinha said it was a tough match, but Barcelona did their usual job today, showing grit, balance, and a smile despite the tension there.
Rafinha explained that they anticipated pressure and rough spells, yet recovered to score and play Barcelona's usual game, showing resilience and focus in every phase, clearly. His comments highlighted that the squad combines effort with tactical discipline on a daily basis.
The philosophy behind the second goal
Asked about his form and eight goals in 13 appearances, Rafinha replied: 'Do you think something has changed? You watch games more than I do; I simply do my job. I always aim to improve and won't claim they are my best moments'.
Barça extended their lead to 52 points at the top of La Liga, one point clear of Real Madrid after their hard-fought win over Villarreal, keeping the title chase very much alive.
Punchline: If Rafinha keeps scoring like this, Barcelona might need a bigger trophy room—one for medals, one for jokes.
Second punchline: The net isn’t safe—Rafinha keeps ambushing it every week now, tonight.
