Lamine Yamal during training today 🔴🔵

Zlatan Ibrahimović "The Ballon d'Or? You have to judge the player who made the difference individually. For me, Yamal did. I would have given it to Yamal."

Cubarsí: "I never met Leo Messi, I wasn't lucky enough. I never worked as a ball boy at the Camp Nou, and when I started training with the first team, he had already left."

❌ OFFICIAL: Dani Olmo leaves the Spanish National Team and returns to Barcelona.

❌ Physically uncomfortable, the player is not fit to play during this international break.

De Jong: "I don't like the idea of playing a La Liga match outside Spain. I don’t agree with it. It’s not fair for the competition."

Szczęsny: "I discovered Joan last season at Espanyol, and he impressed me a lot."

"After just three days of watching him train at Barça, I realized I could help him develop."

"Joan could potentially become the best goalkeeper in the world. I’m not saying he is right now, but if I can help him in any way, I’ll feel very happy."

Lewandowski: "The defeat against Sevilla? Matches like this can happen, and missing penalties is part of football."

Reporter 🗣️: "What's your favorite picture?"

Ousmane Dembele 🗣️: "Surprisingly it's the image of Messi comforting me when I got injured against Dortmund in the 2019 UCL."

Reporter 🗣️: "Why that picture?"

Ousmane Dembele 🗣️: "Because of what he said to me: "Don't worry you will be alright". At that early stage in my career I needed that and he always encouraged me."

Pedri: "I think the team was bad in the first half. I don't think we’ve ever played a game this poorly, and we have to be honest with ourselves."

"We have to look ahead now, recover, but when we come back from the international break, we must think about what we can improve so this doesn’t happen again."

🎙️ What was missing from the team in the first half and also in the final minutes of the match?

"Pedri: "A lot of things, honestly. With the ball, we didn’t know how to get out of their man-to-man pressing. We also lacked intensity in defense. We have to review the things we did wrong, and obviously, the coach and we players will work on fixing them after the break."

🎙️This is Barça’s second defeat after the Champions League loss to PSG, this time against Sevilla. What happened today?

"I think there are many things we need to review. We have to be honest with ourselves, we didn’t play a good game."

"In the first half, we didn’t know how to defend or attack."

"We have to watch the match again and fix many things so that after the international break we can return to the right path we were on, which is winning games."

Today's training session, ahead of our game against Sevilla.

Hansi Flick: “Lamine Yamal? I spoke with him today, he’s feeling better but he’s not ready to play.”

“The situation with Luis de la Fuente? It was about the last international break. My position was to protect the player, but that’s over, it happened. From my point of view, it’s finished. These things happen in football. It’s not easy for the Spanish coach, but it’s not easy for me either. I just want to protect my player.”

“Luis de la Fuente’s comments about my supposed lack of empathy? I just want to protect my players. We have to think about them, that’s all. For me, it’s done, we have to move on and focus on other things.”

“Everyone knows Lamine’s qualities. It’s also my responsibility to manage his playing time. Sometimes players don’t feel 100 percent and only focus on their strengths, but we also need to defend. For me, he’s smart, he knows how to steal the ball from others, and when he’s fully fit, he does it. Right now, I have to manage his minutes. If he can’t do it, he must play less.”

“When you’re a good player, you also play for your national team, and that’s an honor. We have to manage everyone’s playing time, whether it’s with the federation or here. That’s how it is. It’s a good thing that many players go on international duty, but we have to handle it properly, with training included.”

“The match in Seville is important. We’re angry about the loss against Paris, so we need to play better, be smarter in certain situations. Structure, unity, that’s what we’ll focus on.”

“Seville are a very intense team with an aggressive style. I’m sure it’ll be a tough game.”

“Bernal called up with the U21s? That’s a tricky case. I’m not sure what they plan to do with him, but he’s not ready to play so many minutes. He’s coming back from a serious injury and a long absence. We need to take care of him, whether it’s me or the federation.”

“The change in the calendar since last year’s breaks? I have no opinion, they decided, I have nothing to say. I don’t know if it’s good or bad. Maybe for the federations, it’s good to have players for a longer time.”

“Our idea is to press our opponents, it’s crucial and it’s the Barça mentality. We can do it better in some situations. When it’s structured, we do it well. When there’s no pressing, the line is too high. We need to improve. We have to train that every day, it’s a process, it’s normal.”

“It’s not just the players, the staff too, we’re one team. The club, the fans, we must be united. Last year, that was the key to success. Everyone knows what they need to do to win, not to focus on themselves. That’s the key to winning titles.”

“Since the last international break, I’ve seen things improving. We believe in what we’re doing together. We’re frustrated about the loss to PSG, but that can happen against such a team.”
