Leeds United were beaten 4-1 by Arsenal on Saturday night – and some were stunned to see Deco sat in the stands at Elland Road.
The Whites were 3-0 down at half time as Gabriel Martinelli bagged a brace and Bukayo Saka found the net.
Raphinha scored from the penalty spot, but Emile Smith Rowe restored Arsenal’s three-goal lead to seal the win.
These are difficult times for Leeds, but at least Raphinha continues to turn in strong displays.
The Brazilian winger has excelled ever since arriving in the Premier League, a deal Deco helped broker in 2020…
Fans stunned as Deco spotted in the crowd at Leeds
During coverage of Saturday’s game, the camera panned to Deco inside Elland Road.
The former Portuguese international is best known for winning the Champions League with Porto and then shining at Barcelona and Chelsea.
Now an agent, Deco’s work representing Raphinha seems to have flown under the radar.
When fans on Twitter realised that Deco is Raphinha’s agent, many were baffled and stunned.
Some called it ‘delightful’ and ‘pretty cool’, loving seeing Deco will involved in the game.
Others simply noted that they feel old seeing Deco – a player many of us saw well before his peak – now working in an off-field role.
