Taking too much on himself? Flick grows frustrated with Lewandowski's attitude

In a recent match against Mallorca, Barcelona ended a three-game winless streak in La Liga—but did so without one of their top scorers, Robert Lewandowski. Reportedly, head coach Hansi Flick left the Polish striker out of the lineup as a disciplinary measure.

Details: According to La Vanguardia, Lewandowski has been focusing more on his individual goal tally than on team play, a mindset that is beginning to irritate Flick. Benching the forward against Mallorca was a clear message from the German coach that such behavior is unacceptable and that no player is untouchable. Additionally, Lewandowski does not command significant authority in the dressing room, as he is not among the team’s four captains.

Reminder: Lewandowski’s fellow countryman, Wojciech Szczęsny, will have to wait for his debut at Barcelona, as Flick continues to place his trust in Iñaki Peña as the starting goalkeeper.
