Barcelona achieved a great victory over its counterpart Real Sociedad in the match that brought the two teams together at Montjuic Stadium for the 26th round of La Liga.
The Catalan team crushed the Basque side with a 4-0 scoreline, raising their total to 57 points at the top of the La Liga table, three points ahead of their traditional rival, Real Madrid, who are in third place.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional”, there is growing discontent in the Barcelona dressing room due to the lack of playing minutes for Pablo Torre.
The team’s key players, such as Gavi and Lamine Yamal, do not understand why coach Hansi Flick is not giving the young midfielder a chance, especially after he showed his quality and ability to contribute to the team when given the opportunity to play.
Gavi and Lamine Yamal, two prominent figures in the team, were the most vocal in criticizing the lack of opportunities for Pablo Torre. Both players are well aware of the difficulty of earning a place in the first team and appreciate Torre’s talent and dedication. Gavi, who has shared minutes with Torre in midfield, knows firsthand what the young player can bring to the team. For his part, Lamine Yamal, who had to fight for his place in the team, sees Torre as a teammate who deserves more opportunities to prove himself.
The discontent was not limited to Gavi and Lamine Yamal alone, as many players in the dressing room expressed their support for Torre, pointing to his professionalism and ability to add value to the team when given the opportunity. This situation has created a tense atmosphere in the dressing room, where many do not understand why Flick has not shown more confidence in a player who has demonstrated his quality in the minutes he has played.
Hansi Flick is well aware of the situation and knows that Pablo Torre’s lack of playing time is not being received positively in the dressing room. However, the German coach faces great challenges in making difficult decisions amid fierce competition in midfield.
Barcelona’s match against Real Sociedad, which ended in a 4-0 victory at halftime, was the perfect opportunity for Flick to give Torre some minutes. However, the coach opted for other changes, leaving Torre on the bench for the entire match. This decision further frustrated Torre and his teammates, who believe the Cantabrian deserved more chances to prove himself.
