In round 14 of La Liga last weekend, despite conceding the first goal, Barca still completed their goal of 3 points, thanks to goals from Lamine Yamal and a double from Dani Olmo.

The result brought Hansi Flick's team to the top of the table from Real Madrid and they continued to maintain that position, while in the late match, Xabi Alonso's team only earned 1 point at Girona (1-1 draw).

But the most noticeable image of Barca after the victory over Alaves was the gloomy attitude and sadness of captain Hansi Flick.

Why did the German strategist look so depressed and lonely when Barca won, forcing Raphinha to step forward to console him? Could it be that he was depressed and wanted to leave Nou Camp early?

Before Barca's match against Atletico tonight (3am on December 3), coach Hansi Flick spoke up to clarify his somewhat 'weak' image.

“ It’s funny that people are talking about that photo. I don’t know who started it. I’m disappointed because Barca kept losing the ball and then two members of the coaching staff got red cards.

After Barca scored the third goal, assistant Marcus Sorg got a red card. I had a talk with him. Sorg is my friend, the most important person I have here.

On the bench, I need to look around and rely on my colleagues. I want to stay and breathe fresh air, instead of going straight to the dressing room and arguing. I am fine now and ready for everything that lies ahead with Barca. I am happy to be here .”

So it can be understood that Hansi Flick was not satisfied with Barca's performance (despite winning against Alaves), and his colleagues 'caused trouble' outside the field, making him very disappointed. To avoid further tension, the German coach lingered on the field to 'cool down' before going inside.

This season, Barca have not played as explosively as their first campaign under Hansi Flick, partly due to the impact of injuries. After 14 matches in La Liga, they have won 11, lost 2, and drawn 1, while in the Champions League, Barca are currently ranked 18th (won 2, lost 2, drew 1), most recently losing 0-3 to Chelsea.
