BARCELONA (Reuters) -Barcelona coach Hansi Flick on Friday denied reports of internal divisions at the club, dismissing claims that Sporting Director Deco pressured him into starting Lamine Yamal against Paris St Germain despite the winger’s alleged late arrival for training.
Ahead of Saturday’s LaLiga clash at home to local rivals Girona, Flick labelled the talk rubbish, asserting his autonomy over team selection and his positive relationship with Deco.
