Conflict in Barcelona? Lamine Yamal clashes with Hansi Flick over substitution in match against Rayo

Lamine doesn’t like to leave the pitch too early.

Details: According to MundoDeportivo, after Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick substituted the 18-year-old Lamine Yamal during the 29th round La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano, the young winger was visibly frustrated by the manager's decision and exchanged a few heated words with him.

According to the source, cameras captured Yamal’s reaction as he stormed to the bench, furiously shouting:

“It’s ALWAYS me. Always. This is CRAZY!”

Flick’s assistants rushed over to calm Yamal down, but their efforts failed. It was Wojciech Szczęsny who stepped in and quickly managed to soothe Yamal after a brief conversation.

This season, Yamal has played 40 matches for Barcelona, scoring 21 goals and providing 16 assists.
