The events of Barcelona’s match against its guest, the Swiss team Young Boys, which brought them together in the second round of the Champions League competition in its new form, have just ended.
Barcelona achieved an important and big victory over its guest, with five clean goals, so that the Catalan team won its first victory in the tournament this season after losing in the last round against Monaco.
According to information received from the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, the German coach is happy with the team’s performance against Young Boys, and despite not winning the Man of the Match award, the German coach went to the Barcelona star after the match and congratulated him on his wonderful performance.
Flick told Pedri that he was the best in the match without a doubt, the Spanish player gave one of the most beautiful matches for him with Barcelona, so the German coach told him: “You gave a magical performance tonight.”
The newspaper added that Flick admitted that Barcelona star Ferran Torres was the worst player in this match, and despite giving him many opportunities, the player was not worthy of them and has not presented his credentials yet.
The German coach decided to exclude the player from the team’s lineup in important matches this season, due to his exhaustion of all the opportunities given to him.
The newspaper indicated that the German assistant coach sees the need for the departure of the duo Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati and the signing of a world-class winger to add great strength to Barcelona in attack and give the coach depth to the team’s lineup this season.
Flick believes that Ansu Fati will not return to the player he was and his departure now is better for both parties and Flick will inform Barcelona’s management and Joan Laporta of this decision.
