P. Barcelona is in the middle of the semifinals against Inter. Who believes that tournament will win?
R. Look, the four remaining are totally able to win this Champions League. There is no favorite, because they are the four that have best given throughout the entire competition. But Barcelona has been doing something different in the field for a long time. It is a young team, with young but experienced players in what they do. And Lamine Yamal has really made the difference in this team.

P. And that team also has Raphinha, who is doing the season of his life. Is it an aspiring to the Golden Ball?
R. I do not see many players today that they can compete with Raphinha, and I can even say that between him and Mohamed Salah. I think they are the two that will have options to win the Golden Ball. Raphinha has 31 goals and 25 assists. He has broken Messi’s record in a team considered today the best in the world, full of stars. It is the heart, the defining element, which makes Barcelona play. And I am very happy that she is a Brazilian, a Brazilian who has been standing out. He is a team captain in a great club such as Barça.

R. Raphinha is always admired by all, especially for us Brazilians. But the current moment that the Brazilian team is going through is different from that of the player, from the athlete who is Raphinha. He has been playing football really well. The Brazilian team needs it a lot, it needs its talent, its work … His work with the Brazilian team can even help him win the next World Cup.
P.It could be the next name in the list of Brazilians who became legends in Barcelona: Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Neymar …
R. Could it be? No, it is. It is already the sixth name of this list of great Brazilians who have made history in Barcelona.

Q. In the other semifinal of the Champions League highlights Marquinhos, which has been a key player for the PSG. What do you think of your influence on your club and your selection?
R. Marquinhos is the best central one that plays today in world football. He is an experienced player, Captain of Paris Saint-Germain, captain of the Brazilian team, a player who lets his game speak … And I appreciate people like this: a captain who does not need to be cursing everyone in the field.
