Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has implemented a stringent new disciplinary measure, imposing a significant €40,000 fine on any player who is late on matchdays.
The German tactician has introduced the rule to enforce punctuality and underline the importance of professionalism and preparation within the squad.
Speaking on the Spanish program El Hormiguero, Barcelona forward Ferran Torres revealed the new internal policy. “Hansi Flick has just changed the rules on arriving late,” Torres stated, as relayed by Fabrizio Romano on Tuesday. “If it’s matchday and you’re late, you have to pay a €40,000 fine.”
Torres’s comments confirm the strict new standard and indicate that no exceptions will be made regarding matchday protocols.
The revelation comes as Barcelona sits atop the La Liga table, holding a one-point lead over rivals Real Madrid following a convincing 3-0 victory over Levante on Sunday.
The substantial fine serves as a clear and powerful message within the dressing room: respect for the team, the schedule, and the significance of the occasion is non-negotiable.
