🎥 He's absolutely right, Laporta backs Flick over the Lamine situation | OneFootball

The president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, has come out in defense of his coach, Hansi Flick, and has publicly backed his recent criticisms of the Spanish national team for the handling of the injury of young star Lamine Yamal. Laporta stated that Flick "has already said everything he had to say and he is absolutely right", confirming the club's stance.

The statements of the top Blaugrana executive come in response to the controversy generated last week, when Hansi Flick expressed his discontent with the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF). The German coach had blamed the national team for forcing Yamal to play with an ailment, which, according to the club, worsened his injury and left him out of several crucial matches for Barça.

Lamine Yamal's injury occurred during the concentration with the Spanish national team, and upon his return to Barcelona, a muscular ailment was confirmed that has kept him away from the playing fields.

Laporta's backing of Flick heightens the already existing tension between the Catalan club and the RFEF in relation to the management of their international players.
