"Barcelona" club winger Raphinha, after the victory in the Champions League quarterfinals with a score of 4:0 against Dortmund's "Borussia," mentioned the importance of wearing the Brazil national team jersey in an interview with the Brazilian sports publication "TNTSportsBR," emphasizing the significance of fighting for oneself and the potential accomplishment of winning three titles:

"Perhaps the words I said before the match against Argentina were not the best. Still, when I am with the Brazil national team, my mindset is clear."

"It is very important for me to defend the honor of the national team and my country.

It is also very important for me to defend myself, whether in the Brazil national team or with the 'Barcelona' team. If I need to fight, I do that."

"The 'treble'? I have been saying this from day one: If you play for the 'Barcelona' team, your focus should always be on winning titles."

28-year-old Raphinha has scored 28 goals and provided 22 assists in 45 matches this season.
