Raphinha says PSG loss won't derail Barcelona's Clasico plans

Barcelona lost 4-2 to PSG at Parc des Princes on Tuesday in the Champions League, their first defeat of the campaign. Xavi Espart and Lamine Yamal scored for the visitors, and Raphinha was back in the starting lineup. Raphinha said the result was disappointing but added that he believes it will have no bearing on Barcelona's upcoming Clasico against Real Madrid.

Barcelona's third match in the league phase finished as a 4-2 loss away to Paris Saint-Germain, the club's first setback in this Champions League campaign. Xavi Espart and Lamine Yamal scored for the visitors, and Raphinha was restored to the lineup and wore the armband.

Raphinha called the result frustrating but stressed that only three points were at stake. He praised PSG as a strong, well-drilled side and felt Barcelona held its own. Having trained for under a week, he reported feeling physically good and said his attention has shifted to preparing for Sunday's Clasico against Real Madrid.
