Tension Inside Barcelona's Dressing Room Due to Flick
Friday 07-11-2025
The website 'Fichajes' revealed that Barcelona is experiencing a state of tension inside the dressing room following the 3-3 draw against Club Brugge in the Champions League, a draw that raised concerns within the team and reopened discussions about coach Hans Flick's style.

The site pointed out that several players feel that Flick's tactical decisions do not fit the current situation of the club, especially after the departure of Inigo Martinez last summer, which left a clear defensive void that has not yet been addressed.

The report clarified that Flick continues to rely on a high-pressing and advanced defensive strategy, but the team has conceded 20 goals since the start of the season, reflecting the frailty of the defensive system. Some players, according to the source, confirmed that the current style of play exhausts the team and leaves large spaces easily exploited by opponents.

The source added that some Barcelona players have begun to question the validity of sticking to an aggressive attacking style, especially in the absence of a clear alternative plan. Despite Flick defending his approach by saying, 'We are Barcelona and we play this way,' this statement has increased players' feelings of a lack of tactical flexibility.

The report confirmed that the dressing room is experiencing a division between those calling for defensive realism and those supporting Flick's attacking philosophy, at a time when the team is in eleventh place in the Champions League standings with seven points, which reinforces the sense of crisis within the club.

Barcelona faces a critical phase that requires adjusting Flick's system or facing the risk of continued negative results, amid increasing pressure to find a true balance that restores stability to the Catalan team.
