Raphinha has now said that the altercation was sparked by "insults" aimed towards him.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Raphinha told reporters: "I'm someone who respects everyone. When I was leaving the pitch, people were insulting me. I returned the insults. I know I shouldn't. It got heated with the Benfica players ... they preferred to insult me.</p><p>"I'm someone who doesn't let anything lie. I respect them if they respect me, but I don't shut up if they insult me. It's normal after an ending like that to a match."</p>

WHAT RAPHINHA SAID
