Flick and Anthony Gordon clash on the touchline at Barcelona
Gordon, in his first season at Barça, left the pitch in a heated exchange with Flick as criticism grows in the Catalan press.
On Sunday evening, in Barcelona's 2-1 win over Atlético Madrid, Anthony Gordon had a tense moment with Hansi Flick. When the coach took him off late in the game, the English winger took his time walking to the touchline, and Flick shouted at him to leave the pitch quickly.
Gordon did not take the telling-off well and left the field looking frustrated. Sport and Mundo Deportivo have both questioned whether the former Newcastle United player has the technical subtlety Spanish football demands.
In 15 games for Barcelona he has three goals and four assists. Even so, supporters expected more from him, especially when compared with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
