After his historic performance against Bayern, Rafinha asks Flick to remove this player from Barcelona’s starting lineup this season
After Barcelona’s 4-1 victory over Bayern Munich in Montjuïc, Hansi Flick received an unexpected request from a Barcelona player ahead of the Clasico against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu.
Barcelona delivered a stunning performance in their Champions League match, showcasing exceptional talent across the team. This win marks a significant achievement for coach Hansi Flick, who is pleased with the result, especially considering the team’s previous struggles against Bayern Munich. It also serves as strong motivation leading up to the Clasico.
According to the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional,” Brazilian player Rafinha, who scored three goals in the match against Bayern, expressed concern about a Barcelona star who could potentially disrupt the team’s season.
Rafinha, one of the team’s standout players this season, expressed his dissatisfaction with goalkeeper Iñaki Peña’s performance and requested that coach Hansi Flick leave him out of the starting lineup for the match against Real Madrid.
He described Peña as a potential threat to Barcelona’s season, especially after the disappointing loss to Bayern Munich. Rafinha urged for the urgent inclusion of goalkeeper Szczesny, fearing that Peña could undermine their position in La Liga.
Despite these concerns, Barcelona remains in a solid position and aims to maintain their strong performance in upcoming matches. With continued contributions from Rafinha, Lamine Yamal, and their teammates, the team looks ready to compete fiercely for all titles this season.
