Barcelona won 6-0 against Valencia in their recent match, but Rafinha was not included in the starting lineup. Earlier, it was believed that Flick’s choice was a disciplinary action. After the game, the coach clarified the situation.
Details: During the post-match press conference, the German coach stated that his decision was not a punishment but a tactical one.
Quote: “No. A technical decision. We went with Roony because he has been training brilliantly, and his mentality and attitude are simply fantastic,” the head coach explained.
Marcus Rashford took his place in the starting lineup, highlighting the coach’s emphasis on discipline and team dynamics.
Reminder: The Spanish Football Federation responded to Flick’s comments, saying, “If there had been even the slightest issues, Yamal wouldn’t have taken the pitch.”
