Hans Flick maintained his perfect record against Borussia Dortmund, winning every match he has managed against the German side.
Flick guided Barcelona to a 3-2 win over Dortmund in the Champions League’s sixth round. The victory brought Barcelona to 15 points, securing second place behind Liverpool, who lead with 18 points. Dortmund, with 12 points, remained in ninth. Barcelona still has two upcoming matches against Benfica and Atalanta.
According to the Spanish newspaper El Nacional, Barcelona midfielder Pedri got into a heated argument with teammate Balde over the latter’s underwhelming performances in recent matches. The report indicated that Pedri voiced his frustration with Balde, particularly after a poor showing against Dortmund. Pedri criticized Balde for his lack of contribution both defensively and offensively, accusing him of becoming complacent due to the absence of a strong competitor for his position.
Pedri felt that Balde had stopped putting in the necessary effort to prove himself, which led to a verbal clash between the two. The situation escalated until senior players stepped in to intervene and calm things down.
