"“I'm comfortable with playing on the right. Obviously, if I play there on the right wing, they shouldn't expect anything special because I'm not Lamine,” he told Movistar."
"“Lamine is a star and I'll give my best as always in whatever position I play, but please don't expect from me something like Lamine.”"
"Raphinha may have to settle for a place on the bench for the game but does have an excellent record against Madrid. The Brazilian has scored seven times in his last five appearances against Los Blancos."
Raphinha is set to potentially play on the right wing for Barcelona in El Clasico after Lamine Yamal is ruled out with injury. Hansi Flick faces selection dilemmas because Yamal cannot play and Raphinha is still not fully match fit after weeks out with a hamstring problem. Raphinha said he is comfortable playing on the right but emphasized that he is a different player from Yamal. He stated that Yamal is a star and that he will give his best in any position, while asking not to expect the same type of output. Raphinha may also have to come off the bench, though he has scored seven times in his last five appearances against Real Madrid.
