Raphinha reveals tattoo is inspiring Barcelona's hope of redemption after La Liga leaders blow huge lead in title race with Real Madrid & Atletico

Champions League

Benfica

Barcelona

Atletico Madrid

Bayer Leverkusen

<p>Barcelona started the season under Hansi Flick in top form as they took an early lead in the La Liga title race. However, after a poor November and an underwhelming start to December, the Blaugrana side are now only one point clear of Real Madrid and level with Atletico Madrid. Raphinha, who has been in fine form, has now showcased one of his tattoos holds a special message that could inspire Barcelona towards improving their La Liga form. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.espn.com/football/story/_/id/43072966/barcelonas-raphinha-says-bad-laliga-form-due-fatigue" target="_blank">ESPN</a>, Raphinha said: "Yes, [we will] come through this. I have a tattoo that says 'Everything passes,' meaning the bad moments pass and the good ones, too, so it's going to pass.</p><p>"We are doing good, we had a good moment [at the start of the season], entered a bad moment, and that will pass. That's life. It's how football is and life is also the same.</p><p>"What I think is we have to approach every game, every team, like the most powerful team in the world. If we did that, I think we would be much more focused, to defend together, attack together and more focused to score goals. </p><p>"If we go into every game thinking it is the most important, we will be better."</p>

WHAT RAPHINHA SAID

<p>When asked to open up further on Barcelona's steep fall in form compared to the start of the season, Raphinha added: "It's down to us. We have been bad. We have dropped our level. Maybe we have lacked concentration in moments and it's cost us. </p><p>"And tiredness as well. If I tell you we weren't tired in certain games when we dropped points, I would be lying. So tiredness I think is the biggest factor, but we have also dropped our level."</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The Brazilian will be in action next when Barcelona take on Atletico Madrid in a top-of-the-table La Liga clash on Saturday, December 21. </p>
