Barcelona secured a last-minute draw against Newcastle thanks to a penalty scored by Lamine Yamal, keeping their knockout tie open ahead of the return leg at Spotify Camp Nou.
On 'El Partidazo de COPE', pundits Manolo Lama and Dani Senabre engaged in a heated debate about the Catalan side’s style under coach Hansi Flick. Lama defended Barça’s quality, pushing back against claims that Flick stifles attacking play. Senabre countered that this season the team has had to “disguise” itself, failing to live up to expected standards.
The tension heightened as Lama mockingly dismissed accusations that Flick tells his players not to attack or lose duels. Senabre argued the tactical approach limits chances created, while Lama emphasized that opponents also play and challenge Barça.
Host Juanma Castaño had to calm the situation. The exchange underscores ongoing controversy over Barça’s tactical plans and raises questions about their ability to succeed in decisive Champions League matches.
