Barcelona club winger Raphinha is confident that his team can make an impressive comeback against Madrid's Atletico and commented on the atmosphere in the locker room.

The "mattresses" won the first match with a score of 4:0.

We believe we can play a good match. We are sure we can do it.

If there is a team that can overcome this deficit, it is us. We know it will be a tough match, but I believe we are ready for what awaits us.

The atmosphere in the locker room is great. I see that the players get along well. I believe we are a family here.

After all, we spend much more time together than with our families: due to traveling, training, and everything else.

I think a big part of our success on the field is due to our genuine friendship.

Barcelona will meet Atletico in the return match of the Copa del Rey on March 3rd.

29-year-old Raphinha has scored 13 goals in 24 matches this season.
