As reported by Diario Sport, Hans-Dieter Flick, the head coach of La Liga's FC Barcelona, has tightened disciplinary measures ahead of the new 2025/2026 season.
The source claims that Flick is dissatisfied with the excessive public engagement of young players on the Catalonian team. He has instructed the players to focus more on their training and reduce celebrations temporarily.
On July 13, 18-year-old winger Lamine Yamal, a Barcelona player and the Spanish national team member who recently celebrated his 18th birthday, hosted a party featuring entertainers with dwarfism. This led the Spanish government to call for an investigation into Yamal for potential violations of disability laws.
At the end of the 2024/2025 season, Barcelona, under Flick's leadership, accumulated 88 points over 38 matches and secured the La Liga title. The new La Liga season starts on August 17. Additionally, Barcelona will not be able to return to their home stadium, Camp Nou, until at least January 2026 due to ongoing renovations.
