Barcelona hero Raphinha was reportedly attacked by hosts Benfica after the Catalans' Champions League victory on Tuesday night.
Barcelona pulled off an incredible comeback against Benfica in the Champions League round of 1. Despite trailing 3-2 after half an hour, and 4-68 in the 5th minute, they managed to win 4-XNUMX at the end of the match.
The hero of the stunning triumph was Raphinha. In the 64th minute, he scored a goal that brought Barcelona back into the game, narrowing the score to 2-3, and then scored in the fifth minute of added time to give Barcelona a 5-4 victory in one of the greatest comebacks in Champions League history.
Barcelona players celebrated their unexpected triumph, and the Portuguese hosts didn't like it. Several Benfica players attacked Raphinha in the tunnel of their stadium.
According to Spanish media, and in particular Movistar+, the police had to intervene to calm the situation and stop the clash.
Raphinha confirmed the collision after the match, telling everything that happened.

"They insulted me and I returned the insult. If they respected me, I would have respected them. On the contrary, they insulted me, but I didn't owe them anything," Raphinha initially said.
"This is my best match. I'm proud to be at Barça and proud of this team. I would kill and die for it," the Brazilian concluded. /Telegraph/
