Barcelona club's winger Raphinha did not hide his joy at how the Catalan team's fans greeted the Brazilian during Saturday's match at Camp Nou:

"What happened last week will stay with me for the rest of my life...

I was expecting applause, but nothing as huge as what the fans did in the stadium.

I think they started clapping for me when I began my warm-up. It was very special.

The whole stadium was applauding and chanting my name. That is something that will always stay with me.”

Raphinha returned on Saturday after an injury that kept him out of action for almost three months.
