LaLiga: Not acceptable – Flick slams Barcelona players after 3-0 win over Mallorca

Barcelona manager, Hansi Flick, was furious with his players despite their 3-0 win over Mallorca on Saturday.

The Catalans began the defence of their title with an emphatic victory against nine men.

Mallorca saw two players sent off within six first-half minutes, with Barca already leading 2-0.

Flick expected his team to record a bigger scorelines, but they only scored one more through Lamine Yamal in the last minute of stoppage time.

It left Flick unhappy at full time.

He said: “I didn’t like the match.

“These are three important points, but after going 2-0 up, and with the two red cards, I think my team played at 50 per cent.

“That can’t happen. I need to talk to the players about this. You can’t play at 50 per cent against nine players, that’s not what I expect.”

Flick added: “This is not acceptable.”
