In an unexpected turn of events, tensions have resurfaced in the Barcelona dressing room, this time at left-back. Alejandro Baldé, the young star once expected to be a key figure in the club’s future, has come under intense scrutiny after a significant dip in form this season. Despite his lackluster performances, he continues to start every match, much to the dismay of several players who feel his place in the starting lineup is guaranteed despite his tactical errors and repeated defensive lapses.
While many within the squad believe that academy graduate Gerard Martín is the more suitable choice for the starting position due to his defensive stability and reliability, Baldé remains unchanged. This situation has created a tense atmosphere in the dressing room, with veteran players believing that the decision is based more on personal considerations than on-field performance.

The situation is further complicated by growing rumors of a close relationship between Alejandro Baldé and Lamine Yamal, another promising young player. Some believe that this strong friendship could influence the coaching staff’s decisions, with the desire to maintain a stable environment around Yamal reportedly being the reason for Baldé’s continued presence in the starting lineup. This has angered some veteran players, who feel this preference is unjustified.
If this situation isn’t addressed quickly, Barcelona could face a serious dressing room crisis that could affect team harmony and performance in the upcoming matches.
