(1/3) 🗣️ Hansi Flick on Lamine's stats this season:

(1/2) 🗣️ Hansi Flick on Balde:

"The situation isn't a happy one for him. It's normal; he's not playing, he doesn't have minutes. Over the last two years, he was a key player, so it's normal. But in the end, when the season starts, things change, young players come through,..." #fcb

🗣️ Hansi Flick on Full-back situation:

"At the moment, we have 5 FBs, 2 on the right, and of course João can play on the left or right, and 3 on the left. Nobody expected Xavi Espart to play at this level before the season, which is why he has to show his best version, and he is doing that." #fcb

🗣️ Hansi Flick on whether Lamine deserves the Ballon d'Or:

(1/2) 🗣️ Hansi Flick on Ballon d'or and Lamine Yamal's statement:
