Barcelona’s 4-1 Win Over Sevilla Overshadowed by Dressing Room Tension
Barcelona’s dominant 4-1 victory over Sevilla not only strengthened their push for the La Liga title but also sparked unexpected tension in the dressing room. With this win, Barça climbed to third place with 48 points, just two points behind leaders Real Madrid, keeping their title hopes alive.
Ferran Torres Frustrated After Being Benched
Despite the positive result, Spanish forward Ferran Torres was visibly frustrated after being left out of the starting lineup and not getting any playing time. According to El Nacional, Torres confronted manager Hansi Flick after the match, expressing his anger over what he saw as an unfair decision.
Torres had been in excellent form, having scored a hat-trick against Valencia in the Copa del Rey, and expected to start. However, Flick kept him on the bench for the entire match, which reportedly led to a heated exchange between the player and the coach.
Sources claim that Torres confronted Flick directly, saying: “I want you to be fair with me.” The forward was particularly upset because he had been promised a starting role but was instead sidelined.
After the game, Torres made his frustration public, stating: “This season could be my last with Barcelona if this situation continues. I deserve more opportunities after my strong performances. I no longer have time for empty promises.”
What’s Next for Torres and Barcelona?
Torres’ future at Barcelona now seems uncertain, as his comments suggest he could consider leaving the club if his playing time does not improve. Meanwhile, Flick will have to manage the situation carefully to maintain squad harmony as Barcelona continues their push for the La Liga title.
With competition for attacking spots fierce at Barcelona, the coming weeks could be crucial in determining Torres’ role and future at the club.
