Barcelona achieved a resounding 4-3 victory over their arch-rivals Real Madrid in the 35th round of the Spanish League. This thrilling match saw dramatic twists and turns, leaving the Catalan team just two points away from officially clinching the La Liga title, with three rounds remaining in the season.
Despite the overwhelming joy that pervaded the team after this historic victory, the atmosphere inside the dressing room was not without tension. Press reports revealed that the star of the season, Lamine Yamal, made a surprising request to new coach Hansi Flick, demanding that Polish goalkeeper Szczęsny be excluded from the starting lineup for the remaining matches.

According to sources, Yamal expressed his anger at the goalkeeper’s disastrous performance during the match, which nearly cost Barcelona the result in El Clásico, just as he had previously done in the Champions League, when he caused the team to exit the competition due to fatal individual errors.
Yamal described Szczęsny’s continued presence in the lineup as an “unjustified risk,” telling Flick, “Enough. He’s caused enough damage to the team this season.”
It appears that Barcelona’s management may have to intervene to resolve this dispute quickly to avoid any escalation before the title is officially decided.
