'If Any Team Can Do It, It's Us': Raphinha Predicts Comeback For Barcelona In Copa del Rey

Barcelona winger Raphinha has issued a rallying cry to teammates and supporters alike, insisting the Catalan giants remain capable of overturning a daunting four-goal deficit in the Copa del Rey. Speaking with quiet conviction, the Brazilian international delivered a simple message: “If any team can do it, it’s us.”

The declaration arrives as Barcelona stare at one of the competition’s most lopsided aggregate scorelines in recent memory, yet Raphinha’s tone was resolute rather than resigned. While the specifics of the first-leg result were not detailed, the size of the mountain to climb is clear: four goals stand between Barcelona and a place in the next round, a margin that has historically spelled doom for lesser sides.

Raphinha’s words are designed to stoke belief in the dressing room and among a fanbase that has seen the club produce memorable European fightbacks in years past. By framing the challenge as surmountable, the 26-year-old has effectively placed the onus on the squad to summon a performance of intensity, precision and unity when the two teams meet again.

The winger’s statement also underscores a wider theme of resilience that has characterised Barcelona’s recent rhetoric. With silverware still at stake, the comeback attempt is being treated not as a token gesture but as a genuine objective, one that could redefine the narrative of the club’s season.

Whether that belief can be translated into the requisite goals and defensive resolve will be revealed in the return leg, yet Raphinha has ensured that hope will travel with the team until the final whistle.
