Adrian Mutu (47 years old) commented on Barcelona's La Liga triumph at the end match with Real Madridscore 2-0, which mathematically brought title #29 in the showcase of the Blaugrana club.
Besides Lamine Yamal, Adrian Mutu believes that another very important player for Barcelona this season was Raphinha (left wing).
The Brazilian returned to the field in this match after an injury that kept him off the pitch for the last 6 games. In this season, the player collected 32 matches, 19 goals and 8 assists.
Adrian Mutu: “I want to highlight Raphinha”
“I don't think it's a matter of the coach at Real Madrid, but of the collective, who don't know when it broke. It's good for them that there are three games left and they can start rebuilding.

I saw very large distances between the compartments, they suffered in the full-backs, many individual actions, not collective. Lack of connection between the players and a lot of long balls, also because of the pressing done by Barcelona. I think today Barcelona were superior both physically and tactically.
In Barcelona's season, besides Yamal, who is the team's top scorer, another player I highlight is Raphinha, even if that injury also dragged him down. He is a decisive player in Flick's team,” Adrian Mutu said on Digi Sport's “European Football” show.
