Barcelona’s draw with Celta Vigo had a significant impact in the locker room, with coach Hansi Flick expressing extreme frustration at the performance and behavior of certain players.
Although Barcelona remains at the top of La Liga with 34 points, 4 ahead of Real Madrid, the latter still has a postponed match against Valencia. If Real Madrid wins, the gap will shrink to just one point.
Former Barcelona and Spain defender Carles Puyol shared his thoughts on Barcelona’s performance under German coach Hansi Flick.
Puyol stated in comments reported by “Football Spain”: “Flick has made many changes to the team this season, instilling a winning mentality, but there are players whose time at the club has come to an end and should be let go immediately.”
He continued: “Barcelona looks great under Flick, which is no surprise, especially since he relies on academy players in the first team, a move that pleases all Barcelona fans.”
Puyol added, “When given the chance and confidence, these players perform because they know the club better than anyone else and have been trained in this style since childhood.”
He also expressed his disappointment with the Celta Vigo draw, especially given that Barcelona was leading by two goals with only a few minutes left. “I hope this result doesn’t affect their La Liga title race in the long run.”
Regarding advice for Hansi Flick, Puyol said: “I want him to ask the Dutch player to leave Barcelona permanently. Frenkie de Jong earns a lot of money but is the weakest link in the teamâs system.”
Puyol concluded his message to Flick by saying: “Let him go if you want to succeed with Barcelona!”
