Barcelona club head coach Hansi Flick commented on his future with the team and Raphinha's exclusion from the list of the best eleven players before the match against Villarreal:

"One and a half years of work for a coach is a very long time. I am very happy to be in this team, together with Deco and the entire staff.

I have no problem continuing the work, but this matter is also related to the president's wishes.”

"It is absurd that Raphinha is not included in FIFA's best players eleven. It is just incomprehensible.”

29-year-old Raphinha scored 34 goals in 57 matches last season.

Barcelona club is in first place in the Spanish championship with 43 points.
