Barcelona midfielder Rafinha believes the team is complete and reacting to decisive moments very well.

The Brazilian has sat out the majority of the season due to injury, making just eight appearances in all competitions.

The 24-year-old admitted to an increase in the intensity and tiredness which usually occurs at this point of the season.

“I see a great team,” the Brazilian said to Radio MARCA.

“When January and February arrive, you notice the fatigue because it is normal.

“When important matches come, there is motivation and less tiredness.

“I see a complete team and [Barcelona] react to decisive moments.”

Rafinha also had some positive words for Brazil team-mate Philippe Coutinho, who has been enduring a tough time at Camp Nou in recent months.

“He is very good,” he added.

“When it seems that things are not going to plan, he is criticised. He is contributing and helping the team.

“At one end he is asked for goals, but what he gives and how he fits, we see that he helps us in an extraordinary way.

“He’s cheap for his quality.”
