Before the cancellation of the press conference by Carlo Ancelotti and Luka Modric as a protest, Hansi Flick spoke before the media.
Flick remained discreet on the choice of the left side: Gerard Martin should replace Alejandro Balde, injured, but confirmed Ferran Torres as a new number in the absence of Robert Lewandowski, injured. He also paid little attention to the favorites of the match, nor to the events of the two previous clasicos, stressing that the whites were a “big team” and that these matches were “of ancient history”.
Yamal and Barça want to shine against Real
The evocation of Lamine Yamal, which aroused more reactions, aroused surprise from the media. “He is an incredible player, for his age … 17 years old. He prepared very well. You will be surprised. He has a special surprise for you. »»
A new haircut?
We noticed that the young prodigy trained in a heat of 28 degrees, wearing a hat, which certainly stung curiosity. In addition, the images of Lamine Yamal out of the training seemed to suggest that he had the hair for the occasion, as Diario As reported. For the full version, we will have to wait for the final.
Barcelona will address the final in favorite against Real Madrid, after having largely defeated it during his two previous confrontations this season. The absences of Balde and Lewandowski will undoubtedly be sorely felt, and the Catalans will face a team that desperately seeks to avoid a third consecutive defeat and save its season, as the local press qualified.
