Barcelona star spoils Hansi Flick’s joy after winning the Super Cup

German coach Hans Flick of Barcelona’s first football team received unfortunate news after securing the Spanish Super Cup victory over Real Madrid, concerning an injury to one of his players.

Barcelona faced Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final at the “Jewel of the Shining” stadium in Saudi Arabia, where they triumphed 5-2. According to the Catalan newspaper Sport, Barcelona defender Inigo Martinez may be sidelined for an extended period after sustaining an injury during the match.

Barcelona clinched the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday evening with a dominant 5-2 win over Real Madrid. Martinez started alongside young Pau Coparsi in defense but had to leave the field midway through the first half due to injury, with Ronald Araujo replacing him after recently recovering from his own injury.

The report indicated that Martinez’s injury slightly dampened the excitement of Barcelona’s coaching staff, led by Flick, as he suffered a hamstring tear that will keep him out for approximately five weeks. Given Barcelona’s packed schedule, the absence of Martinez, a key player this season, will be a significant loss, with the defender expected to miss 10 matches.
