Sport reported that Barcelona’s management is extremely angry with the result of the Atletico Madrid match and the successive setbacks the team has recently suffered in La Liga.
Barca lost 2-1 to Rojiblancos a week after another defeat to Leganes 1-0, and both matches were at the Olympic Stadium Luis Companys.
According to the report, President Joan Laporta expressed his anger to those close to him about the defeat to Atletico in particular, but he and the management agreed that the performance was good.
Despite what has been reported in the past hours about administrative anger towards Flick, Sport sources confirm that the German coach has the full support of Laporta and the Catalan management and there is no intention to talk about his dismissal at all.
It is true that there is a state of anxiety about receiving 5 local defeats after only 19 rounds of La Liga, but there is a belief that these stumbles are temporary and the evidence for this is that the team’s level is still high and performing well, but it lacks luck.
As for Flick’s future, he remains and enjoys full confidence, unless a major setback occurs in January, and we are talking here about losing the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia and losing a number of La Liga matches after that.
It is worth noting that Barcelona is in second place in La Liga with 38 points, 3 points behind leaders Atletico Madrid, and one point behind third-placed Real Madrid, with one match less for both Madrid teams than the Catalans.
