With the result it seems so, but it is not easy to beat Athletic. I think we are still looking for our best level, but we are very good, that\u2019s what matters. Playing against Athletic is always very complicated, they have a lot of quality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raphinha also heaped praise on the Barcelona players that were drafted into the starting line-up for the Athletic clash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis shows that whoever plays, we are always ready.
