Flick explained the reason for not starting Rafinha
Barcelona head coach Hans-Dieter Flick explained the decision not to field forward Rafinha Dias in the starting lineup. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The Brazilian player started the match against Valencia on Sunday from the bench and came on after the break, replacing debutant Runi Bardiji. During the game, the 28-year-old forward scored twice.

The match ended with a big victory for the Catalans – 6:0. Before the game, media outlets circulated reports that Flick had excluded Rafinha from the starting lineup as a punishment for being late.

However, the coach denied such information. According to him, it was a technical decision, and Runi was chosen for the starting lineup because he performed very well in training and had an excellent attitude towards work.

Barcelona has collected ten points after the fourth round of the La Liga competition.
