Barcelona star Raphinha apologises for angry response to substitution in Man Utd draw

Barcelona scorer Raphinha has apologised after showing his frustration at being substituted against Manchester United.

The former Leeds man was handed a start by manager Xavi and went close on a number of occasions before finding the net 14 minutes from time. There was an element of fortune about his goal, a cross which flew straight in as Robert Lewandowski failed to get a touch on the ball, but Raphinha appeared galvanised.

He seemed to feel he had more to offer, if his reaction to his number going up on the fourth official's board was anything to go by. The Brazil international was visibly angered at being withdrawn for Ferran Torres, but has since shown humility after the 2-2 Europa League draw.
