Barcelona secured a remarkable 4-1 victory over Sevilla in an exciting match, boosting the Catalan club’s hopes of returning to the race for the top spot in the Spanish League.
With today’s win, Barcelona’s points tally increased to 48, placing them third in the Spanish League standings, just two points behind league leaders Real Madrid.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional,” Barcelona’s dressing room was filled with tension following the team’s impressive victory over Sevilla last night.
The source of this tension was Spanish star Ferran Torres, who exploded in front of coach Hansi Flick after being excluded from the starting lineup and remaining on the bench for the entire match without even being substituted in.
Torres, who had been outstanding in the previous match against Valencia in the King’s Cup, where he scored a brilliant hat-trick, was expecting to start after his recent excellent performances. However, Flick chose to keep him out of the starting lineup, leaving the player both sad and extremely frustrated.
According to sources within the dressing room, Torres confronted the German coach angrily, saying: “I want you to be fair with me,” expressing his frustration after Flick had promised him a starting spot for the crucial match. Despite his stellar recent performances, Flick’s decision to keep him on the bench came as a shock to the player.
Torres spoke candidly after the match, saying: “This season could be my last with Barcelona if this situation continues. I deserve more opportunities after my strong performances in recent matches. I no longer have time for empty promises.” His comments clearly indicated that the player was perplexed by the coach’s decision, especially since he had been performing excellently in recent matches.
