"Xavi is in love with Dembele; I want to play where I'm most comfortable"

Raphinha was one of Barcelona's star signings this summer. The Brazilian had a great spell at Leeds which earned him the move to the Catalan city. 

It seemed like he was a similar option to Dembele, who at the time did not know if he was going to stay at Barca.

Xavi has chosen to start both of them several times, which means one of them has to move to the left side. "On the left side I can't contribute a lot", Raphinha said to 'Que t'hi jugues'.

"I like competing with top quality players, but I'd like to compete for my position, where I'm comfortable and where I can bring the most to the team", the forward said.

Raphinha claimed that "Xavi is in love with Dembele". "I am too, but not just with him, the whole team. Barca has a great squad, with great quality players. Whoever plays, they'll do everything they can to help the team".

If Raphinha has to be with another player, it is Neymar: "I always go with the Brazilians, but not just because they're Brazilian. I think that he's the best at what he does on the pitch, and even better considering lots of people are still trash-talking him, but he's a great footballer and a great person".
