"There were many positives to take from coach Hansi Flick, including Dani Olmo's superlative performance, as well as Raphinha and Pedri getting more action on the pitch. Although Flick wasn't too happy with Barcelona's performance and consistency, the German tactician had one more reason to be upset with the game. Barcelona and Flick outraged by referee's performance According to SPORT, the Barcelona coaching staff is very angry about the refereeing during Saturday's match."
"Flick does not understand why the officials are targeting his bench, as there have been several red cards recently that he thinks were not deserved. The frustration was not just about the red cards. The Barcelona bench was also angry because the referee ignored two possible penalties. First, Lamine Yamal went down in the box and was left in pain, but the referee did not check it. Later, there was another incident involving Olmo that was also waved away without a VAR review."
Barcelona beat Deportivo Alaves 3-1 at Camp Nou. Dani Olmo produced a standout performance while Raphinha and Pedri received more playing time. Hansi Flick remained unhappy with overall performance and consistency. The coaching staff objected to referee Miguel Angel Ortiz Arias after assistants Jose Ramon de la Fuente and Marcus Sorg were sent off late in the game. The bench blamed the fourth official for poor communication. Two potential penalties, including a Lamine Yamal incident and an Olmo challenge, went unreviewed by VAR. The suspensions mean Flick will be without his assistants for the next match against Atletico Madrid.
