Barcelona is preparing for its highly anticipated match against Osasuna, a postponed game from the 27th round of La Liga. The Catalan team hopes to overcome the fatigue of players returning from international duty after the break, as they aim to secure a victory in this crucial match to consolidate their position at the top of the table.
Lionel Messi, the eternal Barcelona legend, broke his silence in a press statement to Radio Catalunya, expressing his dissatisfaction with coach Hansi Flick’s treatment of one of the team’s rising talents. Messi is calling for the coach to give this young star, Pablo Torre, a full opportunity to prove himself, expressing his surprise at the neglect of his great potential despite the limited chances he has been given.

In his recent statements, Messi said: “I admire the way Flick works with the team and the style of play he follows, but there is something that surprises me greatly: How can Flick be fair to everyone except one player?” This player has the talent to excel, but unfortunately, he doesn’t get any opportunities to play. That player is Pablo Torre.”
Messi’s comments refer to the case of youngster Pablo Torre, who has been brilliant in the limited minutes he has been given this season, scoring four goals and providing three assists in just 373 minutes, making him one of the team’s most promising prospects. However, despite his impressive performances, Torre has found himself outside the starting lineup, having been given just 27 minutes in the last 10 matches by Flick, and was even left out of the squad for the match against Atlético Madrid.
Messi, who is fully aware of the demands of a top-flight team, is urging Flick to give Torre more opportunities to develop his skills, especially given the fierce competition for midfield positions within the team.
