Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has insisted that there is \u201cabsolutely no problem\u201d with Lamine Yamal after the teenager appeared frustrated when he was substituted during Bar\u00e7a\u2019s 2\u20131 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Champions League last night.<\/p>\n
Yamal, who started the match and once again showcased his flair on the right flank, was withdrawn in the closing stages as Bar\u00e7a looked to protect their lead. Cameras captured the youngster reacting with visible disappointment, but Flick made it clear post-match that the situation was normal and nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s Lamine, just like anyone else,\u201d Flick said with a smile when asked about the incident. \u201cHe was already on a yellow card, there were five minutes to go, and we had to make a change. That\u2019s why.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barcelona were in control for most of the match, with goals from Jules Kounde securing a crucial away win in the group stage. Frankfurt pulled one back late in the game, prompting Flick to make tactical adjustments, including the removal of Yamal to avoid a potential second booking.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I understand his reaction,\u201d Flick continued. \u201cEveryone wants to stay on the pitch. He thinks he can play 90\u2013100 minutes, he\u2019s young and it\u2019s okay. It\u2019s a good attitude, no problem for me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
