Before the final with Real Madrid, Raphinha and Araujo request an urgent meeting with Flick

Ahead of Barcelona's Spanish Super Cup match against Real Madrid, Hansi Flick faced the media at a pre-match press conference.

During the session, an unexpected moment occurred when Arnau Blanco, a staff member, informed Flick that two of his captains, Raphinha and Ronald Araujo, wanted an urgent meeting.


According to Marca, Blanco relayed the message to Flick while discussing the upcoming match.

"Coach, Araujo and Raphinha want to talk to you", were Blanco's first words.

The timing was notable, as the request came shortly after Flick had dealt with the Araujo situation, with the 25-year-old heavily linked with a move away this month.

The unexpected request from the two captains added another layer of intrigue to Barcelona's preparations for the Super Cup, raising questions about the nature of the discussion. /Telegraph/
