Hansi Flick blasts Barcelona disallowed goal decision, reacts to Lamine Yamal injury – “It’s a shame”

Barcelona took another step closer to retaining the La Liga title after a narrow 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo on Wednesday. The Catalans were made to work for the three points, which were secured by a first half penalty from Lamine Yamal.

As per Marca, head coach Hansi Flick was pleased with how his side managed to secure the win at the Spotify Camp Nou, although he also recognised that they were far from their best.

“We’re happy, we’ve suffered a lot because Celta play very well. The first half was complicated, it was different from what we expected, but the important thing was the three points. In addition, we have had two injuries. We fought together as a team. We can do better because we have quality.”

Flick: Torres goal should have stood

Flick was frustrated at the decision to disallow Ferran Torres’ strike in the second half, which would have made it a more comfortable evening for Barcelona. The forward volleyed home a Pedri cross, but a VAR check found that he was marginally ahead of the last Celta defender.

“I think Ferran’s goal is a goal, it’s not offside and I’d like to have an explanation. In the end, it’s 1-0 and it’s time to focus on the next game.”
