Barcelona captain Raphinha has named teammate Lamine Yamal as the best player in the world at the moment.
Speaking to CazeTV, Raphinha insisted that there is no room for debate, adding that the Spain international is by far ahead of the second best player in the world.
The Brazilian international said, “Lamine is proving that he is the best player in the world right now, and I don’t think there is any room for debate about that.
“For me, he is the best player in the world, perhaps by a very big margin over whoever is second.”
