LEWANDOWSKI FUMES AT HANSI FLICK AFTER CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS FOLLOWING PENALTY MISS IN BARCELONA’S 4–1 LOSS TO SEVILLA
Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski has publicly voiced his frustration and anger toward head coach Hansi Flick after the club’s humiliating 4–1 defeat to Sevilla — a result that has rocked the Catalan side and cast serious doubt over Flick’s future.
The loss at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán was made worse by Lewandowski’s missed penalty midway through the second half, with Barça trailing 2–1. Minutes later, Sevilla punished their lapse in confidence, scoring twice more to hand the Blaugrana their worst league defeat of the season.
Following the final whistle, Lewandowski appeared dejected, but what unfolded afterward seems to have deepened the internal crisis. Speaking to reporters, the Polish striker revealed that Flick made a post-match remark he found deeply disrespectful.
“I know I made a mistake missing the penalty,” Lewandowski said. “But what Hansi Flick said to me after the game is something I’ll never accept from any manager.”
Although Lewandowski refused to disclose the exact comment, sources inside the dressing room described the confrontation as heated, leaving teammates stunned. Witnesses claimed the striker stormed off without shaking Flick’s hand, while the locker room atmosphere was reportedly “tense and silent.”
The incident has triggered a storm on social media, with fans demanding transparency and accountability. Many supporters argue that if Flick’s alleged comment is true, his position as manager has become untenable.
“IF THIS IS TRUE, HANSI FLICK HAS TO GO ☹️,” one angry fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), echoing the views of many disillusioned supporters.
Flick, who took charge of Barcelona earlier this year, is already under intense scrutiny following a string of poor performances, tactical uncertainty, and reported locker-room tension. What once seemed a promising appointment now appears to be unraveling, especially in his relationship with senior players like Lewandowski.
The defeat leaves Barcelona fifth in La Liga, eight points behind Real Madrid, and struggling for consistency in both domestic and European competitions.
While club officials have neither confirmed nor denied the post-match confrontation, insiders suggest the situation could escalate quickly if Flick’s behavior is deemed inappropriate.
With pressure mounting and fans demanding immediate action, the coming days could be crucial for Flick’s future at Camp Nou.
One thing is clear: Barcelona’s troubles go beyond the pitch — and unless the rift between Flick and Lewandowski is resolved soon, the club could be heading toward an even deeper crisis.
