Marcus Rashford, who only recently joined the Catalan giants, found himself on the receiving end of a very public and very harsh reprimand from the German coach — and it happened barely 33 minutes into his latest appearance for Barça.
Eyewitnesses say Flick, known for his no-nonsense approach and tactical discipline, was visibly frustrated with Rashford’s decision-making and work rate during the match. The confrontation came during a pause in play, with Flick gesturing animatedly and delivering firm instructions, while Rashford listened in silence.
For a player who is still finding his footing in a new league, the incident will spark immediate debate: is this a sign of Flick’s high standards pushing his new signing to adapt quickly, or the beginning of a rocky player coach relationship?
One thing’s certain all eyes will be on Rashford’s response in training and whether this moment marks a turning point in his early Barcelona career.
