Rafa said he is fully ready for the match against Newcastle.

FC Barcelona faces a very important and tough test in the Champions League play-off round. Zamin.uz reported on this.

The Catalan side will face England's Newcastle United, and this match is of decisive importance for the team's fate. Before the game, team star Raphinha spoke about his physical condition and sent a positive signal to fans.

The Brazilian footballer said he feels fresh and fully ready. In his opinion, unlike some players in the team, he is not excessively tired.

The reason for this is simple and understandable, linked to his recent recovery from a minor injury. During that time, his body rested and regained strength.

Raphinha emphasized that the last game was very tough, but this is a natural state. According to him, fatigue after an away trip is normal, and now he is ready for a new battle.

According to information provided by sports insiders, the player came on from the bench in La Liga against Athletic Club. He replaced Marcus Rashford in the second half of the match, and this short stint required significant effort.

All of this was done by the coaching staff to conserve resources and distribute strength correctly. Such a strategy is especially important in the play-off stage.

The anticipated match is scheduled to take place on March 10. The referees have also been announced earlier.

Thus, the answer to one of the main questions raised before the match regarding Raphinha's condition is clear. He feels good and is ready to make full use of his abilities on the pitch and achieve a result.
