Rafinha opened the scoring for the away side in the 64th minute after the Atleti defence failed to deal with a Suarez shot. However, before and after the goal the Brazilian had a very quite game – he can also be termed as a passenger for most parts.

However, the 24-year-old has a habit of being in the right place at the right time and the same was evident when he was the first to react to Suarez’s shot which had ricocheted off two Atleti defenders and was there to be tucked away in the home side’s box.
