Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has taken full responsibility for his team’s unexpected 4-2 defeat against Osasuna on Saturday night. This loss ended Barca’s perfect start to the new La Liga season and raised questions about Flick’s decision to make five changes to the starting lineup.
Lamine Yamal and Raphinha were among the players benched in an attempt to keep the squad fresh, but this strategy backfired and Barcelona suffered a significant setback.
During his post-match press conference, Flick explained his decision to rotate the team and accepted blame for the result. He stated that due to a busy schedule with many matches, he had no choice but to make changes in order to manage player fatigue. Flick emphasized that if anyone should be blamed for this defeat, it should be him.
Flick acknowledged that Barcelona currently has limited options in midfield due to injuries and other circumstances. However, he remained positive and focused on their upcoming Champions League match against Young Boys. Flick recognized that securing three points in this game is crucial and highlighted the challenge posed by Young Boys’ fast-paced team.
despite accepting responsibility for Barcelona’s loss against Osasuna, Flick expressed optimism about their future performances and emphasized the importance of winning their upcoming Champions League match.
