Raphinha on Mentoring Yamal: ‘I Treat Him Like My Younger Brother’
Barcelona winger Raphinha has revealed how he looks after teenage sensation Lamine Yamal both on and off the pitch. He describes their relationship as a “brotherhood” that goes beyond tactics and celebrations. After helping secure back-to-back La Liga titles, their joint celebrations went viral. But Raphinha stresses the bond is personal, not just symbolic. Speaking to TNT Sports, he explained that although Yamal’s talent is natural, senior players are ready to step in when his focus slips. “If he does something silly, we tell him off and he listens,” Raphinha said. “I try to pass on a bit of my experience to him.”
