Xavi explains why Raphinha's angry reaction vs Manchester United was a 'positive'

Xavi says Raphinha's angry reaction to be substitute can only be viewed as 'positive' as Barcelona drew 2-2 against Manchester United at the Camp Nou.

Raphinha saw his corner kick evade everyone in the box until Marcos Alonso ghosted in at the back post to head past David de Gea in the 50th minute. Man United responded spectacularly with Marcus Rashford equalising three minutes later from the tightest of angles. They then went ahead when Rashford's low delivery was flicked on by Bruno Fernandes and diverted past Andre ter Stegen by Barca defender Jules Kounde.

The former Leeds United winger Raphinha found the equaliser for the hosts when Robert Lewandowski failed to get a touch to his intended cross which eventually found its way into the far corner.
