Raphinha: Don’t Expect Yamal’s Magic from Me in El Clásico
Barcelona winger Raphinha has asked fans to lower their expectations as he fills in for the injured Lamine Yamal on the right flank in this weekend’s El Clásico. Raphinha started his Barcelona career on the right but has mostly played on the left to make way for Yamal’s rise. With Yamal sidelined by a hamstring injury, the Brazilian returns to his natural side under Hansi Flick. The 29-year-old was quick to praise Yamal’s talent, admitting, “I’m comfortable on the right, but please don’t expect anything special because I’m NOT Lamine.” He vowed to give his all for the team despite the challenge of replacing one of Europe’s brightest young stars.
