Barça: Yamal's alleged lateness rumor, Hansi Flick gives a blunt response | OneFootball

Lamine Yamal - Hansi Flick

Lamine Yamal's alleged lateness at Barça ahead of the clash against PSG has set social media alight. Hansi Flick has now addressed the situation.

On Friday, a rumor circulated suggesting that Hans-Dieter Flick had planned to discipline Lamine Yamal by dropping him from the starting eleven against PSG (1-2) in the Champions League, supposedly due to his being late to training. According to the rumor, the coach ultimately reversed his decision under internal pressure. However, the Blaugrana boss has firmly denied this story.

"I’d really like to know where this rumor is coming from (laughs). It’s crap. Sorry to put it that way, but that’s what it is. I have an excellent relationship with Deco. There’s a lot of trust between us, he’d never ask me for something like that. It’s completely absurd. This rumor is ridiculous. Whoever made this up is a liar," Hansi Flick told the press on Friday.
