Flick Takes Action Against Raphinha Before La Liga Match: Here’s Why

Raphinha was set to start against Valencia, but Hansi Flick chose to keep him on the bench at the last minute.

Details: Journalist Marta Ramon reported that the decision was due to Raphinha arriving late for the warm-up. Flick has a strict policy on punctuality and does not allow even top players to skip this rule.

Marcus Rashford stepped into the starting lineup, further highlighting the coach’s focus on discipline and team standards.

Reminder: The Spanish Football Federation responded to Flick’s comments, stating, “If there had been any issues, Yamal wouldn’t have been on the pitch.”
