clash between the locker room and Laporta because of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor

The transition from 2024 to 2025 was marked by the crisis on the side of Barça. The Catalan club was forced to act urgently for a particularly thorny issue. Dani Olmo and Pau Victor could not be registered in La Liga before December 31, with regard to the financial fairness of La Liga. Finally, after appeals and in particular the help of the CSD (Higher Sports Council), the Catalan club obtained the right to register the two players provisionally.

While waiting to see a change of verdict, the Catalan daily Sport reveals to what extent this file could have created tensions internally, particularly in the locker room. Indeed, the Catalan players did not understand how the club could get to this point. It was first Hansi Flick, the German coach, who tried to explain this tense situation to his men. Except that the players did not understand the problem and asked Joan Laporta for explanations.

“And you couldn’t have done that before?” »

It was therefore the Barcelona president who had to come and explain himself in person to the Blaugrana locker room, returning in detail to this particularly tense issue. But these explanations would not have been to the taste of the players. “And you couldn’t have done that before?” », would have replied in substance the Barça players, unhappy to see the team confronted with this last minute problem. Fortunately, the situation has been resolved… temporarily at least.
