Barcelona chief Deco admits they want Lamine Yamal to keep having "fun".

The 16 year-old became the LaLiga's youngest ever goalscorer in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Granada.

The previous record was held by Fabrice Olinga, who scored in 2012 as a Mlaga player against Celta in Vigo. He was then 16 years and 98 days old.

Deco said, "He's getting a lot of minutes; I've said many times that he needs to have fun, responsibly, but be happy playing...

"Scoring will come naturally, we want him to score, help us as a team, and when the day comes, we'll be happy."
