Liga: Barça provides the essential against Rayo Vallecano and puts pressure on Real Madrid

Winner of Panama in a friendly with Brazil (6-2), Raphinha is preparing with his selection for the 2026 World Cup. The FC Barcelona player was questioned about his position by Globo Esporte and took the opportunity to promote the talent of Lamine Yamal and concede the superiority of the latter.

“I only wanted to play on the right when I arrived at Barça. But I can’t compete with Lamine in his position: he’s an extraordinary talent. So I was forced to adapt to other positions“, he said.
