Hansi Flick has tipped 19-year-old winger Lamine Yamal to become the best player in world football. The Barcelona boss praised the youngster's maturity and performances following the international break.
Hansi Flick has revealed that forward Gabriel Jesus is set to make his first start for Barcelona against Getafe. The German head coach also provided selection updates on Joan Garcia, Frenkie de Jong, and Marc Bernal.
Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has moved to reassure supporters regarding Raphinha’s injury status despite confirming the Brazilian will miss the upcoming clash against Getafe. The German tactician also revealed that Gabriel Jesus is set to make his first start for the club as the La Liga leaders look to maintain their perfect start to the domestic campaign.
Barcelona star Raphinha has been surprisingly left off the 30-man list of contenders for the 2026 Ballon d’Or, but Anderson has told GOAL that his fellow Brazilian would miss out on a “top three” finish regardless. The South American forward has been posting Ronaldo-esque goal numbers at the start of 2026-27, but does not find himself in the running for a prestigious Golden Ball.
