Camera cameras captured Barcelona star Ansu Fati in a state of fury with Hansi Flick during Saturday’s match against Celta Vigo.
Flick ordered Fati to warm up in the hope of bringing him on as a second-half substitute, and the Spaniard’s hopes of featuring increased when Robert Lewandowski was injured.
But the surprise at that moment was Flick’s decision to bring on Gavi in midfield instead of Lewandowski and return Fati to the bench.
At that moment, Fati’s anger exploded, as he took off his training shirt and kicked a water bottle box.
Fati’s anger did not stop there; he refused to shake Flick’s hand after the match, a move also echoed by another angry player, Hector Fort.
Ansu Fati was warming up, Flick didn’t call him to come on, and kicked the team’s cooler… He looked angry😳.

Flick has been vocal since last January that Fati needs to work harder to be included, while the club informed the player to look for a new team, but he chose to remain at Camp Nou.
Fati has only played 191 minutes this season, across nine matches in all competitions.
The 23-year-old’s possible departure in the summer transfer window is now only a matter of time, especially since Barcelona’s management supports coach Flick’s decisions.
