Flick’s Decision on Yamal Sparks Debate

Lamine Yamal left the pitch visibly upset after being subbed off in the 70th minute against Borussia Dortmund, as he wanted to continue. Despite the controversy, stats show he’s among Barça’s most used players this season, starting 24 of 25 available games in 2025.

He’s played 92.7% of total minutes, reflecting strong trust from the coaching staff. Regarding his contract, Barcelona denies any refusal from Yamal or his agent Jorge Mendes, confirming he is under contract until 2026, with a mutual plan to extend it until 2030.
