BARCELONA, Spain — Barcelona coach Hansi Flick confirmed he has replaced dropping players with "huge" fines in the event they arrive late on match days.

Ferran Torres & Pedri reveal brutal Hansi Flick punishment for Barcelona players who report late to team meetings
Barcelona stars Pedri and Ferran Torres have pulled back the curtain on the iron-fisted discipline currently ruling the dressing room at Camp Nou. Under the stewardship of German tactician Hansi Flick, the Catalan giants have undergone a significant cultural shift where every second counts. Flick, known for his meticulous attention to detail and unwavering standards, has reportedly made punctuality an unnegotiable requirement for his squad, viewing any delay as a slight against the entire collective effort.
The duo, who made a joint appearance on the popular Spanish television programme El Hormiguero, explained that Flick’s approach to tardiness has evolved this season. While previous infractions might have resulted in players being axed from the matchday squad, the German boss has shifted his focus toward a more financial deterrent. Flick has previously explained his stance, stating: "[Being late] is a lack of respect, not for me but for his teammates, the institution, and the fans. It’s not that difficult to arrive on time, this can’t happen and it has happened."
