Raphinha and Ronald Araujo request urgent meeting with Hansi Flick – report

Ahead of Barcelona’s Spanish Super Cup clash with Real Madrid, Hansi Flick held a pre-match press conference.

During the session, an unexpected moment unfolded when Arnau Blanco, a staff member, informed Flick that two of his captains, Raphinha and Ronald Araujo, urgently needed to speak with him.

As reported by Marca, Blanco interrupted Flick’s remarks on the upcoming match to relay the message, saying, “Coach, Araujo and Raphinha want to speak with you.” This request came right after Flick had addressed Araujo’s situation, as the 25-year-old had been widely rumored to be leaving the club this month.

The sudden meeting request from the two captains added an element of intrigue to Barcelona’s preparations for the Super Cup, leaving questions about the nature of their conversation.

Barcelona’s ideal lineup for the match against Real Madrid was also revealed, featuring two key changes from the last El Clasico.
