Flick meets for more than two hours to ask him to be Barça’s star again

Although Barça is currently in a moment of euphoria, and the results obtained in recent months have been magnificent, as demonstrated by the fact that they have not yet lost a match in 2025 , Hans-Dieter Flick is showing concern for some of his players. And he cannot hide that he is afraid of the accumulation of minutes that some key players have in their legs, such as Pedri González, Lamine Yamal or Jules Koundé.

But the player who is currently causing the most headaches for ‘Hansi’ is another. Because Raphinha Dias has considerably lowered his performances , and has been unrecognizable in recent matches, being very far from his best version, the one he exhibited in the first months of the competition, and which led him to be considered a clear contender to win the Ballon d’Or . However, everything has changed radically.

He has gone completely unnoticed in recent matches, and the Brazilian international has said that this is due to fatigue. He was left out of the squad against Girona and CA Osasuna, and reappeared against Atlético Madrid, but was not up to the task, and again started as a substitute against Betis. It is clear that he has some problem, although the Camp Nou have tried to downplay the matter.

Joan Laporta and Deco have not shown any alarm, and believe that it is normal, but that the former Sporting de Portugal, Leeds United or Stade Rennais player will soon regain his best level, and will be his usual self again. Flick, on the other hand, is not so clear, and the sensations that the 28-year-old winger has left in the last training sessions and in the recent matches do not invite optimism , and have caused him to meet with him.
Raphinha spent more than two hours talking to the Barça coach, who wanted to know if he had any problems away from the pitch that could be influencing his performance.

Flick 100% trusts Raphinha for the most decisive stretch of the season
Obviously, Flick wants to count on Raphinha 100% for the most decisive stretch of the season, in which he must continue to be decisive, and help the team achieve all the goals set.

Because Barça needs the best version of its star, now that the most decisive matches are approaching.
