Barcelona star Raphinha has sent a social media message the way of teammate Lamine Yamal, regarding the latter’s new jersey number.
The subject of wide-man Lamine’s shirt change has of course dominated the headlines in Catalunya’s capital over the last 24 hours.
This comes after the 18-year-old saw his status in Hansi Flick’s squad recognised by way of an iconic new squad number.
Following in the footsteps of the likes of Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi, Lamine has taken on the responsibility of Barcelona’s no.10.
Messages of encouragement and congratulations have since come pouring in for Barca’s attacking prodigy from across the world of football.
And as alluded to above, featuring front and centre in as much was another member of Hansi Flick’s Blaugrana frontline.
Taking to the comments section of Lamine’s latest Instagram post, Raphinha threw his backig behind his attacking partner-in-crime, writing:
‘They’re not ready for what’s coming.’
