Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has made a surprising decision ahead of tonight’s match against Sevilla, opting to leave one of the team’s standout performers on the bench.
As Barcelona prepares to face Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium in the 23rd round of La Liga, they aim to capitalize on the recent draw between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
According to El Nacional, Flick has chosen to bench Ferran Torres despite his impressive form. Torres recently delivered a stellar performance against Valencia in the Copa del Rey, scoring a hat-trick while filling in for Robert Lewandowski. His exclusion from the starting lineup has reportedly left him frustrated, as he believes he has earned his place in the XI.
The decision raises questions about Flick’s relationship with Torres, especially since some players within the squad are not fully in favor of Lewandowski’s continued selection. It remains to be seen how Flick will manage the situation and whether it will impact the team moving forward.
