In Barcelona's away league match against Elche, the defending champions kicked off their title defense with a dominant 5-0 victory. Raphinha, who scored twice in the match, explained his celebration in a post-match interview.

Was the match easier than expected?

Easy or difficult depends on us. If we start with the same intensity as today, matches become easier. It's not because Elche are easy to face; they have strong ball possession, but we were in excellent form from the start.

Could everyone maintain the pace until the final whistle?

The heat was intense. When one team has higher ball possession, the other team suffers more. Elche are a good side, but the heat affected them significantly, and the scoreline doesn't entirely reflect how the match unfolded.

Does the team lack a centre-forward?

Direct that question to the president, Deco, and the coach. We just follow the manager's instructions. I'm comfortable playing in any position.

After scoring your first goal, why did you do the Spider-Man web-slinging gesture?

It was for my son; he asked me to do that gesture, and he loves Spider-Man.
