Deco admits Barcelona heavily rely on Yamal and Raphinha

This season, Barcelona are on the verge of clinching the La Liga title—thanks in large part to the brilliant performances of their two wingers. The club is already feeling the weight of this dependence.

Details: In an interview with ESPN, Barcelona's sporting director Deco admitted that the Catalan side is seriously reliant on Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, and that something needs to be done about it.

Quote: "We feel a great dependence on Raphinha and Lamine Yamal. Maybe we need players with similar qualities to have more options in those areas," the Portuguese specialist noted.

Lamine Yamal has played 52 matches across all competitions this season, scoring 16 goals and providing 24 assists. Raphinha, having played two more games, has an impressive tally of 34 goals and 25 assists.

Reminder: The Blaugrana winger Lamine Yamal exchanged shirts with former Barcelona player Thierry Henry and took a photo together.
