Flick remains unconcerned about Lewandowski and Yamal’s visible frustrations, which surfaced during their substitutions in Barcelona’s 5-0 victory over Young Boys in the Champions League. Lewandowski, on the verge of completing a hat trick, was substituted with just 15 minutes left, while Yamal, who faced criticism from former Barcelona player Jonathan Soriano for his response, was replaced without contributing a goal or assist, despite the Blaugrana leading 4-0.

Both players were eager to add to the scoreline against a team that conceded 20 shots on goal. However, given their significance to the team and with the victory already in hand, Flick emphasized the need to manage their playing time ahead of the upcoming La Liga match against Alaves.

“It’s only natural for them to feel upset when they’re substituted. Everyone wants to play the full match,” Flick stated. “But the situation required changes. I have to make decisions, and they accept them. Lamine has a very positive attitude.”

After suffering their first league defeat of the season against Osasuna last weekend, Barcelona aims to bounce back in their match against Alaves on Sunday.
