Hansi Flick explains why Lamine Yamal started on the bench for Barcelona vs Athletic Club
""He had some discomfort the last few days. He couldn't train these past few days, which is why he was on the bench. It has nothing to do with the injury; it was a stomach problem," he said."
""We did everything right, I'm very satisfied. We kept a clean sheet again. That gives us confidence defensively," he added."
""I'm very happy for Raphinha. He gives his all on the field and is a great example for everyone.""
Yamal missed training ahead of the match after feeling unwell and was unable to train for several days because of a stomach problem unrelated to his previous pubalgia. He was placed on the bench for the game but came on in the second half and therefore looks likely to be available for Sunday's final against either Real Madrid or Atletico. Barcelona defeated Athletic while keeping a clean sheet, which provides defensive confidence. The coach expressed satisfaction with the overall performance. Raphinha scored twice, delivered a wholehearted display, and was described as a great example for his teammates.
