"It's already been revealed that Barcelona reportedly asked Lewandowski to stop scoring in his debut season, to avoid paying a bonus to Bayern Munich, and the media have now picked up another claim from the book. This time it's not all about Lewandowski, but an allegation that Andreas Christensen refused to come on as a substitute during Barca's Champions League defeat to Inter last season."
""Only Flick kept his wits about him. Knowing his team would be bombarded with crosses, he decided to bring on 187-centimeter Andreas Christensen. "Flick's assistant informed the defender, who then informed him that... his back hurt. Flick wasn't convinced the Dane was truly hurt, but he didn't have time to dwell on it , as Inter were throwing everything into the fight and every second counted.""
Allegations claim Barcelona asked Robert Lewandowski to stop scoring in his debut season to avoid paying a bonus to Bayern Munich. A separate allegation states Andreas Christensen refused to come on as a substitute during Barcelona's Champions League defeat to Inter. Flick sought to introduce 187-centimeter Christensen because Inter were expected to bombard the area with crosses. Flick's assistant informed Christensen, who told them his back hurt; Flick appeared unconvinced but lacked time to probe the issue. Barcelona instead brought on Lewandowski for the final minutes, replacing Torres, and Inter then scored two late goals to progress to the final.
